Yasmin

I haven't read these boards in a long while. Three + weeks ago I was hospitalized with major menstrual bleeding (I always said that I was one of the "lucky" ones with PCOS who bled). I ended up getting 4 units of blood which didn't help much but they kept me from bleeding to death.

Now I find out I have 4 fibroid tumors ranging in size from 0.5-2.0 inches in diameter (that is, up to 5 cm). And my GYN has put me on Yasmin to help control the bleeding. When I got it, I checked here to see if anyone was taking it. All I found were some posts from January, 2001, asking if it was available in the USA. Well, it's here and my insurance doesn't cover it. Fortunately it cost $30 and I could afford it.

Now for my question...Are fibroids common in PCOS? I know from the lists of symptoms I've read that some women rarely have periods and some hemorrage every month and everything in between.

I see my GYN on Thursday and we decide what to do.
