Yasmin pill - Combined Pill
I actually used the brand Freedo (option wasn't listed above) but it has the same active ingredients and dose as yasmin (Freedo is often dispensed in Ireland). I didn't like this pill as I found I was EXTREMELY emotional when I was on it. Weeping constantly, severe anxiety. (Disclaimer: I was definitely going through a tough time when I was taking this pill but once I changed contraception I was no longer crying all the time and found my emotions were easier to control).
