Okay, so I talked my doc into letting me take Yasmin nonstop, but he'd only go for 3 months at a time. And I'm on my second day of inactives for this new cycling program. Hey, they do it with alesse for years on end, I figured I could ask and hopefully get at least a few month's reprieve from the headache pain.

I asked for help/continued bc because on the 4th day of the inactive pills, I get a migraine like a bull stepped on my temples and I usually miss that monday for work.

I'm fine the rest of the time on active pills.

2 things I've noticed on nonstop yasmin, I have GAINED WEIGHT (though it's only about 5 lbs, it looks like 10 or 15) on yasmin even with a moderate diet. I'm eating 1600-1700 calories a day and walk at least 5 miles a week. AT LEAST, and usually more exercise than that. I think it's mostly water. I've gone low carbs again and it's either helping, or the fact that I'm not on yasmin right this very second is settling my body into period mode, and I'll deflate till the next round.

I have noticed that while the antiperspirant appears to keep me dry, I can smell myself through the perfumy deodorant, and it's gotten worse and worse. I switched to a new brand. It hasn't helped, though thankfully no one has said "Ew, what the hell is that?"

So now I've gained weight, I smell funky (at least to me) and I'm about to have a hell migraine.

What can I do for the migraine? Doc said to eat motrin (800 mg a day until the next pill cycle starts next wednesday). I feel like I'm more in need of morphine. What can I do? NOTHING HELPS, although I took darvocet, my last one, last time I had a period and I slept through my sunday...

Anyone else have this headache problem? I can deal with the heaviness and the stinkiness, but the headache knocks me down.
