The new gyn spent 45 minutes talking with us. He went over in detail how the drastic variations of hormones affect perimenopause and PMDD. I was impressed. My former gyn, in the same office, seemed to have a five minute limit on office visits and I never felt heard. All of you out there who need a good gyn who listens and takes seriously your concerns, keep looking. They do exist.

> Chris A.Hi everyone,
Coincidentally I am scheduled to start Yasmin this Sunday. Things had gotten so bad that I stopped taking the Ortho-Cyclen, just to see after all these years, how I would do without ocps, altogether. After six weeks of oily hair/oily skin followed by dry hair/dry skin, bleeding and pain during ovulation--at 43 I was somewhat surprised--, unprecipitated sadness and PMS (which lasted 3 weeks by itself-- and included development of shingles, and the worst hair loss ever-- during this I asked my gyn call in a script for Yasmin,), I am almost looking forward to any positive change!
Let's be sure to compare notes.
Thanks
Kaysey
