Hi,

Yes I meant Yasmin is safer than others such as Diane 35, but as it is a 3rd generation progestogen pill, it carries risks still. Think I typed in a hurry...lol.

Unfortunately, it seems that for PCOS, most of the older progestogens are too androgenic really. Yes, as a result of PCOS you may be carrying more weight and so possibly already at more risk of DVT, so it's difficult to get the balance right. For me, I have always tried to push myslef a bit more with exercise, and have never smoked, so I try to lower any risks. It's worth it for my piece of mind.

xx
