"i&#039;m 30 and tried many different pills since i was 14. (microgynon 50ed being the longest used). i went off the pill for 3 years at 27, then started on yasmin for 6 months and had a lot of breakthrough bleeding. my doctor then switched to the implanon (under skin implant) for 4 months, breakthrough bleeding continued, got massive headaches. i then had it removed and have now been back on yasmin for a further 5 months. non-stop bleeding, some days heavy, some light, bad acne breakouts, extremely tender breasts, bloating, emotionally unstable, mood swings and panic attacks - all of which i&#039;ve never had in my life! i also have polycystic ovarian syndrome and this has not improved this at all."
