I recently had a baby, and my doctor asked me what kind of BCP's i wanted. Well I didnt know so i asked for the patch. I was on that for 2 months and decided it wasnt for me (my mom was insisting i get off due to all the problems). So i called my doctor and asked her for something else. She gave me 2 months worth samples of Estrostep. I took the pill when i got home , I got the worst burps, Smelling like rotten eggs (sorry TMI) that ive ever seen. I chalked it up to something i ate. So the next day i took another. It continued to happen. Finally i said this is enough, My husband didnt wanna be in the same HOUSE as I was . Now im on nothing, Took me 7 years to have my son, I surely dont want another right now.

Any info would be great

i had a terrible experience with estrostep. it caused me severe acid-reflux (which i've never had in my life), made me bloated, depressed, my skin broke out, etc. i spotted all the time too. i take yasmin now. it's amazing: no spotting, my skin looks flawless, my periods are like clockwork, no bloting or water retention, my body hair is virtually GONE, my sex drive is not affected at all... i could go on and on about yasmin. i think it's the best BCP out there, especially for PCOS.
