need advice! QUICK! (Yasmin)

posted by mssaprl9, 05.03.2008, 17:31

ť ť ť I've been on yasmin for 2 weeks. Day 9-12, I had headaches and
ť ť ť breakthrough bleeding. That has stopped and I feel better in some
ť ways
ť ť ť and my skin is a little less oily. My doctor wants me to take the
ť pill
ť ť ť without a break for 4 months or so. She gave me one pack of yasmin
ť and
ť ť ť one back of orthrocyclin and said to see which one I feel better on.
ť ť ť (orthro has a slighty higher estrogen) The only thing is my hair is
ť ť ť falling out more on 2 weeks of yasmin My questions is should I keep
ť ť ť taking Yasmin or start the pill with slightly higher estrogen? I
ť have
ť ť ť less than a week to fiqure this out!
ť ť
ť ť Do you have PCOS or high androgens? If not Yasmin could worsen the HL
ť
ť My testosterone in jan. of 2005 was a 23 and in aug. of 2006 it was a 59.
ť Just got my testosterone retested but waiting for the results. My
ť testosterone doubled in a year and a half. I stopped taking the pill over
ť 4 years ago and thats when my problems began but they also have gotten
ť worse. My skin and hair have gotten really oily and I breakout every
ť where! I guess what I'm trying to figure out is the problem high
ť testosterone or low estrogen.(or a combo) Had my e tested on day 5 and it
ť was a 33. I'm also not ovoulating on my own. P was tested on day 20 and
ť only reached 3.5 Needs to be aleast a 5 to have ovulated)Any thoughts?

Looks like you may have PCOS unmasked by coming off birth control pills. You could have PCOS and the ocp just disguised the symtoms until you came off it!
