I am currently taking Yasmin and am having a weird side effect with it. After my period stops for a few days, I get this left over blood(brown or dark red) and sometimes that will occur for 3 or 4 days. I asked my gyno about it and he said its normal for me because I have pcos and its the shedding of my uterus...is anyone having this problem and is this really normal?
I cant seem to find the right bcp- I can only take monophase pills bc the other ones (tricyclene) make me depressed/crazy. Yasmin is not helping with my facial hair whatsoever, acne is clearing up a little (and getting those cyst things in my groin/thigh/neck area), and my period is a week long....im getting frustrated because nothing i take seems to work and ever since I started taking bcp and glucophage i have gained about 40 pounds...
I was dx in 2002 and my body has been messed up ever since...Was tested for thyroid and cortisone but both came back negative...
Is it possible to be symptom free with the use of medications or do we just have to deal with some of the side effects of medicines and pcos?
Any suggestions??
Need some help/advice
