Hi Judy,
I read below on your post that you were on Ortho tri cyclen and had bad
experiences with it. What kinds of side effects did you experience. My
gyn put me on Ortho and I am getting kind of nervous. If Yasmin is
good, I might just switch. I too didn't know that the tri phasics are
bad for pcos'ers. Do you know if Yasmin is the only good pill for
pcos'ers?
