Wait, is this the same medication as Yasmin? I'm doing great on yasmin, it's the first thing that has ever worked for me, and my thinning top and temple hair is thickening up and growing back! I mean, it really HAS helped me like nothing else ever has. I am HAPPY again. And it feels great. But I guess I am just lucky...

That sucks that it didn't work for you. I'm sorry. I guess nothing works as a panacea for everyone. But it DEFINITELY worked for me. I used to bleed heavily ALL THE TIME, ovulated very infrequently, and was so tired and bruised and worn out. Now I feel fine, and my sex drive? Totally awake. It's so weird how some things work and others don't. I did not want to take another BC because I have tried at least 20, and none of them worked for me! This one? Cake. so weird. Now I'm just on a weight loss/body prep mission.

I wish you lots of luck!
