On Yaz... Should I switch to Yasmin? (Yasmin)
Post reply

I have been on Yaz for about 6 months. It seemed to help the shed at first, I was losing about 30-40 hairs a day. Now the shed is picking up again and I am starting to get acne again. I haven't seen any hair growth - my hair is just getting thinner and thineer. Do you think I should switch from Yaz to Yasmin? Or, would that make it worse? I am also experiencing some spotting on Yaz so I think maybe it isn't enough estrogen for me. Any advice would be great! I am worried the hormonal change would cause a huge shed.

Usually the higher estrogen helps so maybe it's worth a shot. Since you actually wouldn't be stopping the pill but just changing the dosage it shouldn't be a big switch for your hair.

I agree with Delilah. You may very well need a bit more estrogen, especially if you are spotting. The more estrogen you have the higher your SHBG will be which will bind that testosterone up and help your hair.

You might have a slight increase inshed as you move up, but if you are already shedding on Yaz, then I would give it a shot.

Did you ever try switching from Yaz to Yasmin? Did it help? Make things worse?
