Good sites Mauri. Just a little editorial with them:

First site is more of an explanation of what the different kind of pills on the market are.

The second site is more of a clinical site.

The third site is great with answering questions about going on, being on and going off the pill! Many questions that women have on here can quickly be answered on this website.

Thanks again for doing the research and posting them!

The first site was very helpful. I printed out the charts and I am going to take them to my dr's.

I've also found it helpful to look up the names of particular brands on WebMD, as it has an extensive list of drug and herbal interactions and contraindications, which can be important for us cysters, many of whom are on multiple medications.

If it's the BCP comparison chart I did save it in a Word/.doc format. Let me know if you need it and I'll email it to you.

jigglymarina · 11-05-2007, 02:15 PM

I tried all the links but only the first one still works. I found it quite educational. I really hope Yasmin does all it promises to :-)

RedDragoness · 02-23-2008, 03:06 PM

Hmm... The site that shows which brands are good for different problems says that Alesse is better for weight gain. I used to be on that, and could lose weight just fine on it. About 2 months ago, a doctor at Planned Parenthood decided to switch the brand to Ortho Tri-Cyclen, even though I was doing good with what I was on. And now I cannot lose a pound, even with an hour a day of exercise, supplements and calorie restriction. She didn't even tell me. I only found out when I picked up my pills. This is one reason I hate doctors. I think that now I'm going to have to go back and demand it be changed back to what I was on.

I've had it with the rudeness and incompetence of doctors!
