I am still on Yasmin and one of my friends who was on it too said she recently switched due to the heath risks and her doc put her on Loestrin.

I just wanted to know what you ladies thought before I start asking my doc about it.

TIA!

I was on Yasmin and could not handle what it did to my hormones this is so much nicer and FH does not lose his head every month

I'm on my second pack - dont have much to say about it. during the first pack - i took it at night just before bed, felt like throwing up but eventually went away. Def initely have lighter periods.

Not sure if this is because of the pill or not but sometimes I have tension headaches...

Has any one accidentally missed a pill or two? I recently missing one pill and took two the next day and ever since I've been spotting. is this normal?
