Tera,
Thanks so much for the message. I think I WILL try the ice packs
tonight!!!
I really do think the Yasmin is helping the hair loss, even though I've
only been on it a short while (about 2 weeks). I used to have mounds of
hair come out in the shower and whenever I brushed it- now it's just a
little bit and seems quite normal. THis is the first BCP that hasn't
driven me insane so sore breasts aren't THAT big a deal, but definately
annoying!
Thanks again!!!!
