Everyone has their own opinon and i'm not knocking yours i have switched brands a few times and never had a problem but there are rare cases that it could happen if you don't take them like you are supposed to or if you have unprotected sex before the recomended time I would never take medical advice from a chat forum it is always best to talk to your doctor about it but a forum can help you ask very good questions and the pills that make you skip your period don't work for everyone they didn't work for me. :thumbup:

Girl! I know that you're not trying to argue with me! :D :p :D You are one of my very favs, too! :) And I wasn't trying to argue with you either. My motto is, different strokes for different folks. What works for some may not work for others and vice versa. Don't take medical advice from a chat forum and always talk to your doctor. That is FANTASTIC advice! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

See what they have to offer..I know we don't like to have to go to a Dr. for this kind of thing, but rather one visit to a Dr. opposed to month after month of misery. :)
It's been 3 years since mine. I'm with you, best thing I ever did. Of course, I knew I wasn't planning to bear any children.

If you're that miserable see a good gyn. It's amazing what all they can do to "ease your pain".

I never had many periods, and they usually weren't very bad when I did. Had a hysterectomy 11 years ago that ended all of that, but I heard on the radio a few days ago that if you have bad cramps with your period, there is something really wrong. You should discuss this with a good GYN. No one should have to suffer as some of you described.

My periods use to be awful! Then i switched to yasmin.The yasmin keeps the bloating down too. My periods are slowly getting shorter and lighter. BUT.. at least every other month I have nasty cramps hit me and I feel like crap!! I usally load up on advil first thing in the am. At night I get a nice glass of red or white wine and my heating pad!
