Weight Gain on Estrostep - Switch to Yasmine?????From: Nancy (anonymous@obgyn.net)Sun, 1 Sep 2002 15:40:09 -0500 (CDT)
My daughter (age 18) has been on Estrostep for about 9 months. She has gained at least 10 lbs. Also her face is breaking out. She has an appointment with the dermatologist this week. I thought one of the benefits of Estrostep was a better completion. I've been reading a lot about the newer BCP, Yasmine, and I was wondering if that would help with the weight gain/bad completion. From what I've read, that's one pill that doesn't seem to cause weight gain. She's very concerned about the weight gain, since she was a little chunky before even starting the pill. She just says she's hungry all the time. Would anyone advise her calling the gynocologist about switching from Estrostep to Yasmine? Thanks for any input! P.S. Years ago I was on Norinyl 1/50 and didn't gain weight or breakout. Does anyone know if that pill is still available and if that might be a good choice for my daughter or if Yasmine would be better?
