anyone taking yasmin?

This is my first month on it and I am just wondering, when you get done with the packet do you start a new one even if you don't get af?

Hey,
Sometimes I wait an extra few days to get AF and sometimes I just don't. It depends. My DR didn't seem to have an answer to that question for me, So I just play it by ear. If I go to long on yasmin and I don't let myself have AF, I suddenly just get it, even though I'm in the middle of the pack. I hope this helps somewhat.

One of the reasons I went to the doctors to figure out whats wrong with me (i.e. weight gain, acne, FATIGUE, etc.) was because I stopped getting AF even after I stopped BCP. Thats how I got dx in August as having PCOS. I was on Ovcon35.

I just recently went to my gyn because it has been 4 months since AF and she prescribed me provera and yasmin and met. I have not started met yet because my liver enzymes were a little high and she wanted to test me again before prescribing it. I am on my second day of Provera and I feel very crampy.

I am reluctant to go on Yasmin because I felt so horrible while taking Ovcon35, but I am willing to try it because I need relief real bad with acne, weight gain (although you can still gain weight while on yasmin - I am hopeful), hair loss, etc.

The first few months of Yasmin are a big adjustment period. So yeah, move onto the next packet. You'll eventually get adjusted (sometime with in the 1st 3 months) and get af as usual
