Birth Control - Yasmin
by phatty82, Apr 30, 2008 11:34PM
Ok i have been recently diagnosed with mild PCOS. I miss my periods 2-3 times a year and have excessive hair growth, etc..
The doctor put me on a specific birth control called yasmin.
She said that it will help me with the acne and facial hair growth.
Can someone enlighten me.
I am new to this PCOS.
Y did she give me that specific one?

Also I tried probably 3 or 4 different BCPs before I started Yasmin and all the others didnt help and they didnt make me feel like myself I felt tired and emotional all the time..Yasmin was perfect..
Oh yeah and I dont get a period without BC but Yasmin gave me one each month...I could count on when I would get it to the hour..
I am not sure why she would have given you that specific one but I have read that Yasmin helps people with PCOS ( I dont know why though, sorry)
