to be honest.. it wont harm you much if u did.. unless u get pregnant... then i have no control over the ppl ur with.

I can't go for that
I'm not sure if it changes according to which type you are taking, but I'm on Yasmin and all of the active tablets are the same. If you turn the packet over it should say on the back.

tats so u wont forgetvulgarfraction said:Microgynon 30. Yeah I remember reading the info pamphlet thing and the active ingredients, and thinking "okay so what's the big deal with following the arrows and labelling days?"
haha i won't get pregnant. Thanks.
It's not crucial. It just makes things a bit easier. The amount of times where I can't remember if I've taken the pill or not is really bad, so all I have to do is see what day it says I'm up to.vulgarfraction said:Microgynon 30.

Is anyone on Yaz? I started it about a week ago and I was wondering what side affects you had so I know what could possibly have to look forward to.
thanks.
thanks.
When I was 16, I was absolutely fed up with pimples, and after trying all kinds of supposingly amazing face creams and cleansers, I decided to visit the doctor to go on the pill. My mum was completely against the whole idea so I had to do it in secret. The doctor prescribed be Diane, but being a tightarse I went on Estelle, which is just the cheaper generic brand. My skin cleared up amazingly and I felt confident going out with no makeup at all, but the downside is that I put on 10kg in about 2 months. My cousin had suffered a similar problem from going on the pill (for endometriosis though, so it was another brand) so mum automatically guessed what I was on and was not impressed.
After about year of beautiful skin, and bigger sized jeans (the pill had no effect on breast size, sadly), I decided to go to the doctor and swap. He put me on Yasmin, a really expensive product that was meant to also help pimples. I only used it for the 4 months, because I noticed my acne was returning and I was crying over the stupidist things. It was also really expensive and had no generic brands.
I decided to take a break off the pill so it wasn't messing with my head for VCE, but after starting a serious relationship I've returned to it. This time I'm on Levlen and it helped me lose 5kg, but has not improved my skin at all. I've also found that I can't skip periods on it. If I ignore the sugar pills I get really nauseous and bleed regardless, for over a week.
I'm thinking of going on the injection pill, as then I won't have to remember to take a tablet everyday. Have any of you had experience with that?

makes the woosh noises
Been switched to yasmin as of yesterday. fucking expensive. hopefully it'll do more for my skin than diane did and not make me into such an irrational crying whore.
supercalamari
you've got the love
i have no idea what name mine is supposed to be. i've been on microgynon, and now trifeme. it's really bad for my damn pimples...
i'm on yasmin
it is expensive but its the only one i've been on so i don't know any different
plus, i don't pay for it anyway
i used to get the odd pimple, like every few weeks i'd get a pimple
usually nothing more than that though
since i've been on yasmin, i get nothing.
nada, nought, no pimples
ever

Im on nornim, and oo just realised i have to go back to the doc this week. Ive had a few bits of small period even though i was meant to have 3 months of no period..but of coruse that doesnt work out does it.
Anyway my pill cost me $15...went to Chemist warehouse.

I can't go for that
Its normal to get spotting when you are skipping your period for 3months.
Im on yasmin and I initially went on it for my skin, which has worked out fantastic. It is expensive, I pay $55 for 3 months and that's a standard price no matter which chemist you go to. If you are in a private health fund and are using it for your skin, you can get a letter from your doctor to say that's what it is used for, send it to your hf along with receipts and most will rebate up to half the cost.
Apparently there is a new form of yasmin called yaz, which has less of one of the hormones (i think its estrogen though i may be wrong). it gives you the same skin benefits and contraception but is meant to reduce side effects like bloating, withdrawal headaches and i think maybe spotting. Its just come out though and I think it starts at about $80 for 3 months and im not sure if that's rebated.

Does anyone know if there are any pills that reduce withdrawal headaches?
I am on Levlen ED and the only side effects I get seem to be withdrawal headaches and feeling a bit nauseous/sleepy the first few days I start taking it after a withdrawal bleed.
I tend to get mine Monday night/ Tuesday

I think if you take it according to the days on the pack you get it on a Tuesday so yeah lol.Skeeta said:
