Hey there! SO basically, since my laproscopy i have been advised to take 3 packets of Yasmin back to back and then have a break for a week....which is all well and good but my periods seems to have gotten so so much more painful since doing so. This month it literally felt like my right ovary was in a vice...is this just my hormones adjusting....or maybe my endo getting worse? how can they even tell?!!?

please and thank yous x

Does Yasmin stop the need for constant surgeries? No surgeries?

I've done yaz back to back for 4-6 months for about the last 3years. Once your body has settled into the medication it becomes much easier. I love it and make planning time off around work much easier

I have been on yasmin back to back for years. It does take some time to settle in and also if you havent done the skipping periods thing then it will be weird for the first couple of months. all good after the settling time tho - for me anyway!
