Chloe,
I was planning on giving Yasmin a try, until I learned it’s not available in Canada. Seems like everything I want to try isn’t available here. I lasted 8 days on Diane-35 and it made me feel kinda PMSy, especially in the insomnia department. It also aggravated a weird skin problem I’ve developed since the last time I was on bcps; my derm thinks the estrogen’s the culprit but I wish I could trial another bcp to find out for sure. Unfortunately my GP thinks all my complaints are just "stress" and I should just get my pdoc to up my meds. Then I’ll start getting periods, etc. I guess chronic psych patients aren’t allowed to have health problems.
Yeah the infections suck. They were part of the reason I went off bcps in the first place. I was hoping taking ample amounts of probiotics would help prevent that if I ever found a bcp I could tolerate.
