female only Yasmin Contraception Pills

[alycejo 0]

Hi everyone

I'm 21 and am getting banded August 13

Today I was prescribed Yasmin pills to regulate my heavy and painful periods. The doc assured me that this brand would not cause weight gain

So my only concern is whether i will be able to continue taking them once i get the band

I am taking them purely because my periods are horrible and has caused my Iron to be really really low

Has anyone else taken them for this reason?

There were actually commericals about yaz and yasmin causing stomach problems... maybe good that and make sure. I know my friend stopped right away

Have you considered Mirena? That has worked wonders for me. Before the Mirena I had an extremely heavy flow( I know, TMI) and always had to wear a super huge pad AND a tampon:cursing:. I would probably change it every 2/3 hours. But now all I have is spotting when my period comes around :thumbup:, Its great! Best part, no weight gain and I don't have to worry about taking pills everyday. You should ask your doc about it.

I was on Yasmin for a couple of years (before I was banded). My gallbladder ended up attacking me, and Yasmin had me on an emotional roller coaster! I mean, one minute I was crying, the next I was mad, the next I was happy. We finally figured out it was the Yasmin. I got off of it, and I have been great ever since! Although, I will say, everybody is different!
