Backstory: I was diagnosed with Endometriosis a year and a half ago, and recently my symptoms have been coming back with a vengeance. I had an ultrasound that showed my ovaries are now immobile, so I panicked and made an appointment with Fran from the Lowdown. She was really helpful! As I had had bad experiences with progestin-dominant pills when I was younger, she recommended I take Yasmin as it is one of the most estrogen-dominant options. I really wish I did - I was stubborn and chose Millinette 30/75 so I could say I'd tried everything before having to move onto Yasmin if it didn't work (aware this isn't very logical now). I stopped taking this just before the 3rd pack. Felt so flat, very distant from my boyfriend which I hated - like someone was sitting on my personality! Granted, I felt SO much worse on the mini pill, but with Uni finals, Endometriosis panic and a pandemic going on, I think I tried the pill at the wrong time and decided to come off after my boyfriend told me I was having the same anxiety-fueled conversation about the pill everyday. Obviously this pill may be amazing for some, and I can't say it was terrible because I've had worse and didn't gain weight, but if I decide to go on Yasmin it will be when life is more normal and calm so I can properly evaluate it. Something to bear in mind!! Generally on Millinette I felt very anxious in the morning (I was taking it in the morning). I briefly tried taking it at night and felt less anxious in the morning but still had random crying spells. I think a lot of this was the pill itself mixed with how anxious I was about everything above.

Feeling a lot less flat now, been off just over a week now. Do still get anxious in the morning but not as bad. A lot more sharp with jokes and crying a lot less!!! My 'period' was 3 days and no pain, compared to my usual 7 days with 2 days of torture. Endo aches and pains are already back. Have felt very sick and nearly threw up today, but I think thats a separate supplement's fault.
