Wow, that was fast!! You don't mess around once you make a decision on something. I can't believe you already have the Yasmin in your hands.

I guess I would trust the manufacturers...I mean after all they made and would subjected to lawsuits, etc if the put faulty info on their packets.

The nurse probably is going by what used to be the norm.

Wait and see what everyone else says...don't go by just me.

Hope you like the Yasmin

hi lindy lol ..well i already had an appt so... i thought i would ask when i was there.... so we have one vote for the manufacturer tehee i am hoping all the votes are manufacturer bc i dont wanna have to use a condom one more time!!!

i also talked to her about pcos and fertility and she said..of course there is no way to tell until i really try to ttc... but she said that there is no sign of a physical problem ( tubes, uterus) and that if i do have trouble concieving it would be ovulating..and that iseasier to treat than tubes etc problems..

so i feel really relieved

totally scared to start yasmin..but i do think its the right thing to do before i do an iud

xoxo jenn

I was told by my doctor to use back up. I guess the real question is.... what effect on your life would a pregnancy have? It's something that I don't think I could do right now, so I err on the side of caution.
