Hi, got one question. If i want to have unprotective sex in May, should I start using BCP now or in April after my period (about 1month gap before sex)?

Hi, actually not answering your question but want to ask you, do you have any discomfort/side effects when taking yaz?

Well thats good, im skinny so can gain some weight.

I dont know about pricing, but heard Yaz is the most expensive.

Mentioned in this thread was Mercilon n Diane. After some googling, found that Diane got some bad review.

Wow thank you for the complete answer. Well this is new to me, and im afraid it will make my hormons haywire. Will buy the pack today!

The reaaon why so many ppl are ignorant about this topic is because lack of sex education. Even in pre marital course they don't explain much of family planning. One have to google and ask forums to get answers on BCP.

Hi there or anyone,

Aha! I started using Yasmin and now is my free tablet interval. The interval started last Sunday and my period just came today (Wed). My period has been delayed about 6 days (normal cycle 30 days and it is regular) and will it affect the next period due?

If it resumes to 30days cycle, then I'll be on my period on 27 May. I don't want this to be my period day because I want to with my hubby (our hnymoon)~~. What do you all suggest? To delay the period by taking continuously the pills or any other way? I know how to delay with pills, but just want some insight.

Since I'm taking Yasmin, I got acne on my forehead and it does not help with the skin condition. Yesterday, I got terrible headache and today the period came. I guess that was the side effect because before this I never had any headache.

Well thanks for the advice!

Means that I just need to focus my cleansing regime more on my face now. Anyway i'll keep on posting here if I got more side effects.

Hi Katusha, your intention is good for sharing what had happened to you and I'm sorry to hear about your complications. However as what Spunkberry said, the side effects vary from one individual to another.

Some people said that pills cause them infertility without providing their medical history. They might have infertility before they consumed pills. Take a look at your menstrual cycle. Some have regular, some irregular, some people have their menses once in 6 months. Same goes to hormones in our body.

Like myself, I have more body hairs, back acne, and regular menses. My hormones will not be the same as my sister or any other person. I've taken pills for two months and back acne reduced, body hair still the same (I wish to slow the growth ) menses still regular, emotional swings everyday, body weight still the same as no significant increase. What I'm trying to say here is what might work for you possibly will not work for others.

Pills are safe same with IUDs. What you girls need to do is know your body well. Take note of changes, examine all little details that you might overlook. Take closer look at your menses (the heaviness of flow, color, duration, symptoms, PMSes, etc). Take crash course of biology with google. Consult gynecologist and you can also visit any clinics that offer services for women's health.

I'm experiencing the same thing when I took Yaz (minus the lost appetite part). Now I'm trying Diane 35 but Pharmacist told me this brand is now restricted due to several complaints from customers in US.

Because I got pimples on the forehead and jaw when I took Yazmin. Then decided to change to Diane to get beautiful skin on my wedding day. Now the reception is over and I want to see gynea on the best contraceptive for me (i am thinking to do implants and hormone shots).

The side effects would go away once your body and the hormones can regulate systematically (I guess). Because before we take pills the hormones have their own pace and settings, when we consume the pills, some hormone will increase while other decrease (vice versa). It all depends on individual and the kind of pills they consume.
