NWR- BCP

I've been taking Yasmin for about 7 years. It's great except that lately I get headaches the week that I'm off it. The headaches are basically caused by the drop in hormones.

My doctor prescribed Mircette which is a low dose BCP where you take the placebo for 3 out of your 7 off days and a low dose of hormones for 4 out of 7 days. So it may help with the migraines.

Has anyone tried Mircette? I'm just concerned that it may be too low dose and cause spotting.

ive been on mircette for over 10 yrs. also the generic version, Kariva. love it. no side effects whatsoever. i also convinced 2 of my friends to finally go on it, after they tried 3-4 other pills with alot of side effects. never ever once had a problem with it. no spotting AT all, no headaches, nothing! its the miracle BCP as far I am concerned. any ?'s let me know.
