BC question

[Laurelin]

I feel AWFUL again today. Severe cramps, lots of bleeding (tmi I know), and nauseous. I'm going to give it another week then call if it's not better.

Yeah Yasmin has a higher risk of blood clots than other BC.

Ugh my first one was AWFUL.... Doc said three months, I called and cried after two, and he agreed to switch. I would call and talk to the doctor, and see what they think since they know you're medical history or whatever

Yuck. =< I feel for you Laur. Good luck, I hope it improves quickly.

It is never normal for me the first month. I am on the second month of a new kind now and its much better.

I remember starting one in the past and it was awful nausea blah for three months and then I was fine so I was going to give this one the full three months before complaining to the doc.

If its unbearable have them switch you. Otherwise stick with it. Hormones are also different and sometimes your body will be ok with the name brand but not the generic so see if your doc will write for the opposite. I could take a generic one of my old ones but not the name brand
