microgynon20 - better than yasmin?

[rivkah]

Hi all,


a couple of years ago my doctor put me on yasmin for birth control, saying that a lot of people find it reduces the risks of weight gain (although after reading a few posts on these boards...i'd be surprised if *anyone* experienced positive side effects). i did gain weight whilst on the pill and also found it turned me into a moody cow, much to the dismay of my boyfriend at the time! so i stopped taking it.

now i've decided to give the pill another go and my doctor recommended microgynon20. she said it's a lower dose of hormones so it may be less likely to give me the side effects that i experienced before.

has anyone else had a positive experience with microgynon20? if it's anything like yasmin, i don't want it!

Well yasmin hasn't been around very long and has different active ingredients to Microgynon 20 so hopefully it won't give you the moodiness.
Good luck with it and let us know how you go.
