Best choice? Yaz or Yasmin? Well, I have been able to conclude that these two different brands respond to each woman differently. It might help in some areas, and make some other symptoms worse. But I would love to get feed back from girls that are focused in treating specifically these 3 most annoying sympotoms:
With PCOS, I happen so suffer EVERY symptom (except Acne), internally and externally. The abdominal pain might not be only for cramping, but because according to my last ultrasound exam, apparently I might suffer from a Bicorneous Uterus, which basically means I ahve a double Uterus. My doctor told me I have to get a CT Scan next to comfirm if thats the situation, but that is a different subject and and has little if nothing at all to do with the PCOS condition.
Anyhow, what I'm worried about the most now is (in this order), the unwanted and exseesive hair growth, (which is turning into an official beard and its depressing me), the gain weight (i'm 30 lbs. over weight), and the scalp hair loss (lost over 50% of my hair aready and its very thin). I'm 21 years old, and for a woman my age this can be very depressing and the low self esteem and selfconciousness is taking the lead by now.
I have not started with the BCP's but I will start soon, and my question is: On theses specific symptoms, which one you consider it has had best results, Yaz or Yasmin?
I know that higher estrogen levels reduce the unwanted hair more and helps with the hair loss problem, but also, in most cases the side effect might be weight gain, as opposed to lower estrogen levels in a BCP. So I'm not sure which one could be the best option to treat the 3 symptoms. Maybe I would need to be on Metformin too, but I'm not sure how taking both the BCP and the Met at the same time affect my body and symptoms. Could be worst or could be better. Any feedback on this, please? Thank you so much!!! |
