Yasmine experiences? - Women's Health Message Board

Hello,

I am 24 and have been on the pill since I was 16 for primary amennorhea (I never started my period). I have been to four gynocologists and one specialist, and no one is sure why I didn't start my period because my hormones are normal and I developed regularly otherwise.

In any case, I have been on Apri for the past four years or so, and my doctor wants me to switch to Yasmine because lately the Apri has been making me tired, gaining some weight, and giving me headaches during my period. Plus, I have always had bad skin and she thinks this may help.

I have heard various opinions on Yasmine, and am wondering if any of you have taken it and what your experiences have been. Thank you!

I would say give it a shot. Many women have good experiences with this pill- I ended up switching off of it after giving it a year, though.

The only way to know for sure how it will work for *you* is to try it. That's just my two-cents!

Good luck with whatever you do! :-)
