when i was on birth control, i(i cant remember all that i tried)but i do know i tried the ortho tri cyclen my ob/gyn told me if they caused me to be that moody or depressed to stop taking them. i dont know anything about yasmin but mircette was the only bcp i was able to take that didnt affect my moods and regulated my periods. oh and at one point i was going to a male ob/gyn who kept telling me that the pills werent strong enough and kept trying to put me on stronger ones! thank goodness i didnt listen. hope this helps teresa smith ttc #1 pcos glucophage xr 1500 mg clomid 50 mg folic acid 4mg and prayer (hoping for a + call from the dr today!)
