I was on othrotricyclen for yrs after i had my fist son and then i went off to get preggo with my baby who is now 2 about a yr ago my doctor switched me to yasmin because my periods were SOOOOO HEAVY and thought a steady dose of hormones was better than the tri phasic ones. It worked great for about 4 months really light periods for only 4 days but once again i am having terrible periods so much so that i won't leave my house the week of my period for fear that i will leak lol(sorry) i have an appt on Wed for my papsmear and i am terrified they will find something wrong. I just can't believe that my periods can be so heavy and horrible for a week and not be something wrong
I am a sunday starter not only does is help remind me but it also helps stop my period because i stop my pills on sat start my period (sed to be every thursday after )But isnow anytime from thus-sat and i start my new pack of pills on sun it slows the flow and i'm all good again lol.
