Question:

Im currently taking the Microgynon 30 contraceptive pill but i ve recently heard about the Yasmin pill?

Im interested to know if any one has swapped or has any feedback on yasmin compared to microgynon, thinking of asking doctor if i can try it instead. Thanks


Answers:

I switched from Microgynon to Yasmin about 3 weeks ago so maybe it's a bit early for me to give you an accurate answer. I found my side affects on Microgynon were really bad mood swings, itching on my arms and stomach, slight weight gain and really heavy, sore feeling boobs. After changing to Yasmin the itching stopped almost immediately......my moods are normal as are my boobs. Regarding the weight gain i guess that will show over time however i have noticed a slight loss of appitite, by slight i mean i still get hungry and eat a regular diet but i no longer have cravings but maybe that is more psycologocal.

Thats all i can tell you really, not sure of your reasons for wanting to swap but i'm sure your doc can help on that but my overall opinion of Yasmin is very positive. Apparently Yasmin is the mosr expensive contraceptive so GP's don't like prescribing it too often so if you wanna change over be adament about the side effects.
