Please give me your input on the pills that have the least androgenic activity(that cause the least hairloss/acne/etc.) has yaz helped with these issues for any of u?
and another questions, do All BCPs, reguradless of the dose of estrogen, add estrogen to your existing levels. i have slightly lower estrgoen and have been on a lo-dose estro. pill. does that mean that it's is still ading estrogen to my levels, just not as much as a high estro. pill? I'd really appreciate your help.

I have to second Tina. I have always had an easy time on Yasmin.

i am on yasmin too...it actually got rid of my acne
AND IT HELPED ME LOSE WEIGHt [i wasn't even able to lose weight when i ate practically nothing and ran 5 miles a day...so this is big for me]
my mood swings and constant bloating are gone. even my exhaustion is moderately better?
the only bad thing is that i get cramps and some nausea/dizzyness a week before my period. it goes away in three days though. and its better than the pms i used to have...

I'm not sure what yasmin specifically does to estrogen...but my pregesterone was high before i took it and the yasmin regulated it out.

i know yaz and yasmin are very similar. i think yasmin is a little stronger and i know it has a small amount of spirolactone in it to get rid of the bloating that some bcps cause.

thanks for ure replies everyone. but does anyone know whether being on the pill my estro. levels will; be higher, even though im taking a lo dose pill? and when you started the yaz did you have a n initial bad breakout? how long did it take to clear up? thanks for all your help.
i am also usiing valium, ativan and ambien to relieve some of the stress. does anyone know if these medicxations affect hormones?

I take Yasmin and I have to agree with the ladies who posted and said it works very well. My period is a breeze compared to what it was before. I didn't have any breakthrough bleeding when I started. I started so I would get a period, my periods where very irregular and I might have 4 or 5 a year. Usually people start according to their regular cycle, either on the first day or the first Sunday (I think), but for those of us who do not have a regular period, we just pick a day and start. I started on a Sunday so I don't have my period over the weekend.

Yasmin also cleared up my skin and helped with unwanted hair growth. My skin hasn't broken out since before I started Yasmin. I haven't had any problems with hiccupping or burbing while on Yasmin.

Sorry I don't know about the estrogen levels. I would look on WebMD or talk with your doctor or pharmascist.

I thought my burping was worse because I'm taking a higher dosage of Met, but maybe it's the Yaz. I started both about the same time. It's driving me crazy! It's just dry burps - not reflux or anything like that. I even burp first thing in the morning before I've eaten anything.
