Hello im currently on yasmin and i was wondering id there any other pill thats better? cause i was thinking of changing yasmin

and also i was wondering if there id any pill that will help with appetite to gain weight

The only way to know if there is a better pill for you is to switch pills. There is no such thing as birth control that “helps” with appetite and if you happen to gain any weight its usually temporary.

@GigiLuxe there isn’t any pill directly related to weight gain, the only birthcontrol directly linked to weight gain is the depo-provera shot

Everyone reacts differently to different pills so it’s very much a matter of trial and error to see what works for you personally. It is pretty much impossible to find a pill that will give you a specific side effect that will change something for you, like changing your appetite in the way you want or increasing breast size. Those “positive” side effects are often temporary anyway. If you have little or no unwanted side effects on your current pill then in my opinion you’re best to just stick with it, as the chances of getting unwanted side effects on another pill are pretty likely.

Certain combined pills can be a little better for acne or hair loss but although it’s true the pill can increase appetite, I don’t think there’s a specific one that usually does for most people. Are there other reasons you want to switch?

I have been on Aurovela Fe 1/20 (Formally known as Junel Fe 1/20) for the past two years and absolutely love it!! You have a two hour time frame to take it and still be fully protected (example, i take my pill as 9:20pm but could take it as early as 8:20pm or as late as 10:20pm). I have not gained any weight (also a collegiate athlete) and have minimal cramping! I have 21 active pills and 7 sugar pills and always bleed for 3-4 days lightly on the 7 sugar pills. I rarely breakout. No noticeable mood swings and rarely sad. I love it! The first 3 months were rough while my body adapted (lightly bled for 21 days straight but could wear a light tampon and be fine). I feel like this brand isn’t talked about enough!! I’d recommend it to anyone

@skincare23 you have a 24 hour time frame to take that pill and remain protected.

False, my doctor warned me of this. With this specific pill she said anything over 12 hours is a “missed” pill meaning you do have to use another source of protection & 24 hours missed is a complete miss and must use protection for 7 days. Like any BC, the more on time you take it, the better off you are of being fully protected.
