Hey guys, I really need some help. I did a search, but not really finding what I want. I have been on Yasmin for about 6months now and have done really well with it. Problem is it costs so much and there is no generic right now. Was anyone on Yasmin, had good experience, then switch to another and liked it too? Thanks for any help!!! Jean

I also love yasmin & have had good luck with it, so I can't suggest an alternative. But, maybe a low-dose would be better than a normal OCP???

Back to yasmin though, does your insurance not help with the cost?

My gyn is a great guy & he sympathizes with me being a poor student. He will occasionally write me a letter of necessity for the BCP and tells the insurance company that I need the pill in order to receive my period, rather than for BC reasons. That way they can't deny it, cuz the med is to treat a medical condition (amenorrhea: no periods).

I'm sorry I wasn't able to help more. Good luck

Thanks for the reply...my insurance does not cover it. I never thought of trying to get it as a necessary medication, not just for BC. Thanks for the good idea! Jean
