[Birth Control] Alesse vs. Yasmin which is better?From: christy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 25 Jan 2002 13:49:29 -0600 (CST)
I'm about to start the pill, and I'm trying to decide between two. I'm terrified about gaining weight, I'm an avid athlete....About 4 years ago, I tried Ortho-Cept and I gained about 10 pounds. Thus, Yasmin sounds great, but then I realized that it has 30 mcg of the estrogen hormone which is the same amount as Ortho-Cept, thus my fear I'll gain weight again. So, I'm considering Alesse because it has only 20 mcg of estrogen. Which do you recommend? I'm thinking maybe the new diruretic progestin in Yasmin will counter the higher mcg intake. Both Alesse and Yasmin sound great, but I would love any advice or to hear others' experiences with Alesse or Yasmin. I would also prefer a pill that doesn't kill my libido! Thanks!
