Hi Susan
I am very concerned about taking anything with estrogen in it. I am pretty sure I have always had an agitated, paranoid reactions to it. But I think I may give yasmin a try anyway. It is supposed to help with the dreaded pms and pmdd. So, I think perhaps I should just try...
However, I do like the idea of naturally derived hormones. But I can't get my gyn to discuss them with me. Because, I am 35 and still within the age where the "pill" is an "acceptable" treatment for decreasing pms and heavy bleeding. I am just terrified that I am going to start yasmin and have everything fall to pieces again. This has been a really tough summer/fall. So I am scared to have anymore crisies...
Thanks for your post. I so appreciate it. And I am glad you have found something that works for you. I now have to go check out that like you just gave me :-)
Chloe> I have absolutely no qualifications other than knowing that progestin is a synthetic progesterone that I reacted to adversly. A yam derived progesterone (all molecules the same has body, where progestin is one different, therefore patentable????) has been a life saver for me. I now take a triestrogen plus progesterone for menopause and it seems to be working ok for symptoms (primarily hotflash)
