Yasmin pill - Combined Pill
This is by far the best contraceptive I've tried - before I tried rigevidon and gedarel 20/150, and they both gave me a very low mood almost instantly after I started taking them. Meanwhile my mood has felt very level and similar to normal on Yasmin. My skin is pretty much the same and my periods are slightly lighter, which is a bonus. I have noticed a lower sex drive but I am willing to take this side effect over the low mood with the other pills! This also could be due to other factors. I am glad I tried this pill and wasn't put off by the other ones I tried, as it seems to work well for me so far.
