Yasmin birth control pill reviews

The Yasmin birth control pill is a combined pill with a standard dose of estrogen and a progestin called drospirenone. It can be used to treat acne, mood problems, and some symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Some research has also linked it to increased sexual enjoyment. Compared with other combined pills, it has a slightly increased risk of blood clots, therefore it's usually not prescribed as a first choice option. It comes in a pack of 28 pills, 21 are yellow active pills containing hormones and the other 7 are white placebo pill with no active hormones during which you will have a withdrawal bleed. We've partnered with Nurx for birth control prescriptions and may earn a small commission.

I have been taking it for a month now and can say that my breasts have gotten a lot bigger than they usually did before my period, but they hurt and I have sore nipples most of the time, mood swings, a lot of brown discharge, but I will see if they will go away after the 3 months of adjusting to it, otherwise the effects are really not that bad. I find it quite benefic.

It’s fine. I’ve gained quite a bit of weight but compared to others used in the past I feel like my mood swings aren’t as intense.
