I am on Yasmin now for 4 months...skipping the Placebo pills the entire
time. I had nausea and headaches with the pill at first but I changed
the time of day that i take it so now it is much better. I wake up at
around midnight to an alarm and take the pill. Its worth it not to have
to deal with the nausea. I have had headaches too. Hasn't helped with
my pain though and I have gained weight. I'm really only continue
taking it for birth control (my doctor prescribed it for endo) since it
has not helped with the pain yet. I wish there was something else out
there too, but I have tried it all. Depo provera probably worked best
with the least side effects for me, but it never helped with the endo
pain either. I wish you luck in trying to get another lap done.
