Female Contraception > Yasmin Female Contraception

great pill for those not prone to acne...

Advantages: Minimal Weight Gain, Larger Breasts, No Mood Swings
Disadvantages: Acne

...The only drawback from Yasmin was the acne breakouts. I loved this pill and the fact that it made me slightly more curvacious, but not too heavy. I had acne breakouts with all the other pills also except for Dianette, however it made me feel suicidal, which was awful considering I was quite a happy, bubbly person at the time I began taking it. I broke out mostly around my chin, sometimes on my cheeks, and occasionally on my forehead. It wasn't unbelievably ...
...been for this, I would still be taking Yasmin. All in all, out of all the pills i've had so far Cerazette, Dianette, Microgynon 30...Yasmin has been the best, however, I would not recommend it to those of you who are acne prone before taking it, however, it can clear up skin for some people, unfortunately I didn't get this end of it. ...

Review of Dianette Contraceptive Pill

Microgynon - My horrible three years.

Advantages: It stopped me from getting pregnant, it is an easy method of contraception
Disadvantages: Extreme mood swings, lack of motivation, increase of migranes, depression.

I began taking this pill when I was 18 as I went to the doctors to get on the pill. I wasn't aware at the time that there were so many different kinds of combined pill. I found the pill very easy to use and took it religiously, every day at the same time, without fail. (Which is the best way to get its full effectiveness). I continued on this pill for three years, over the three years my asthma worsened severely, I had never had an asthma attack ...
...three whilst on this pill. Although, my doctor pointed out that there are plenty of asthmatics on this pill and do not have any problems with it. However, I feel, in my experience, there was a direct link, as since coming off this pill my asthma has gotten better. The worse thing I experienced on this pill was becoming depressed and having vile mood swings. To be honest, its something that I didn't notice for about three years, I just figured I was ...

Review of Microgynon Contraceptive Pill

Does what it says but becareful, the side effects can be painful!

Advantages: You won't get pregnant
Disadvantages: So many!! Difficult to remove, longer heavier periods, headaches, vomiting, bloating...

The implant was recommended to me by my GP because it lasts 3 years and you do not have to worry about remembering to take a pill daily. It does what it says,you wouldn't get pregnant. But Iike most contraceptives what works for someone, does not necessarily work for another person. After two months, I started to notice I was bloated, gaining weight , vomiting during my periods and having heavier longer periods. One period lasted three weeks. I thought ...
...left it, thinking things would get better. Boy was I wrong. One thing they don't tell you is that the implant is very difficult to get out, it is the size of a match stick and not all doctors are willingly to take it out. After 6 months I found a doctor who took it out. He said it was placed dangerously close to a nerve in my left arm. It took 20 minutes and to be honest was very uncomfortable. I had also developed a cyst in my uterus and a fibroid ...

Review of Implanon Contraceptive Implant

This pill almost stole my life. Please be careful, be aware.

Advantages: It does work in preventing pregnancy
Disadvantages: For me it is the closest to hell that I ever want to experience. Just awful.

...I was prescribed Microgynon from a young age. My periods were heavy and irregular and it was sold to me as a solution to this. Which is was. I used to have a period regular as clockwork. I could time it to a Wednesday afternoon every four weeks and normally as specific as between 3-4pm. This may have just been a coincidence, but I was a great lover of the pill back then. I have always been a little moody around my periods (I think that it is just ...
...the side effects of this Microgynon and told me to stop taking it at once. We are now Microgynon free and, apart from the normal moody me that is sometimes normal and unavoidable at 'that time of the month', I am soooo much more myself! I feel fine now. My partner and I are now engaged, we have a lovely home together and we are due to be married. We are just like we were at the beginning. We are best friends. We are soul mates. We spend every hour ...
