Yasmin

I started taking Yasmin back when I was 20/21 and it helped immensely with clearing up my cystic, hormonal acne. This gave me a new felt confidence, which made it worth it. It also neutralized my mood swings. However 7/8 years down the line, I’ve gained around 2 stone in the past year being back on it and my boobs have gotten bigger (took a break from the pill for around 6-9 months and felt crazy but lost all the weight again). I also get break through bleeding and period like symptoms when I’m taking it. I use it as pain management, as requested by my doctor, for endometriosis so have to take the pill back to back for 2-3 months and then a break, so this could be why I’m getting break through bleeding. I’m going to see if there’s an alternative. I do experience vaginal dryness, eye dryness, low/no emotion on a lot of things and excessive sweating too. It was worth it to start with but maybe loses it’s benefits/stops working long term.
