As I have never been on Yasmine I can't relate to your troubles there
but before I had my hysterectomy I was on over 30 types of birth control
pills and the only things that didn't have awful side effects for me was
Ortho Novum and Lo Ovral and as a bonus if you have acne it will clear
it up. Lo Ovral is a progesterone based birth control pill. You might
want to ask your doctor about one of them if you haven't already tried
it. Take Care, Jauna
