Lucette

I was moved on to this pill from Yasmin by my new doctors surgery at the time. I was informed it was almost identical to Yasmin and that it would suit me. During my 7 day pill break I began to notice I would experience very bad headaches, particularly towards the end of the break. They could not be helped by paracetamol or ibuprofen and affected my day to day life, to the extent that i was desperate to start taking the pill again after 7 days. My period pains worsened, i would often experience cramps in the week leading up to my period and would become worse during my period. I would like to note that when not on any pill my cramps are significantly worse, but they are far better when taking Yasmin that lucette. I want to share my experience with other women who have been moved on to lucette (because it is cheaper) with no explanation. It has taken me returning to Yasmin to realise it was lucette that was causing me the severe headaches, so if anyone is noticing the same side effects please request that your doctor changes your prescription back to Yasmin.
