I didn't realize it had been this long but I have not
seen my doctor since last December. We have kept in
contact since March though. I have an appt. for a pap
smear and to talk about my PCOS stuff. I would like
to get back on the BCP since it's been 2 years (they
didn't want me on it so they can do lots of blood
tests). So...I've been hearing a lot of good talk
about Yasmin. Is it rally that good? The last BCP I
was on was Ortho-triciclyn (sp?). Being on teh BCP
really helped lesson my menstrual symptoms. Since
I've been off of the pill, they're bad again.
