Hi There I Have Recently Relocated From South Africa. In

Hi there

I have recently relocated from South Africa. In September last year, I changed contraceptive pills (from Triodene to Yaz) to manage PMS symptoms better. My prescription was reviewed in the UK and I was put on Yasmin in about February, as GP did not have Yaz. However I am not feeling great on it (water retention/weight gain and moody). I see Yasmin has a slightly higher estrogen ? Content than Yasmin. I was on Yasmin years so and if I recall, I did not feel good on it. I am struggling to get a GP appointment. Is there something more similar to Yaz or even Triodene? I'd prefer to go back on to Triodene than stay on Yasmin (? Melodene/femodene ). in the meantime, i am going to stop the current pill i am on. thanks, Lauren
