Hi all,
I just registered here to ask this question because this thread seems to be really helpful for people!
I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2011, since then I've been on pills not available in the UK (while I was still living in Germany), and then on the Yasmin since Jarnuar 2012. I've never had any problems with the Yasmin until the last couple of months. I think it started in June when I was suddenly getting swellings in my armpits that my GP says can be PCOS related. Also my boobs started to swell and hurt around halfway through the blister. The swelling of the boobs

subsided for a few months but now seems to be coming back. Also, hirsutism is getting a little bit worse again (not really bad), and I'm shedding really badly. Hair loss has always been the main symptom for me, and psychologically it's the worst.
I've also been on metformin since September 2012. Everything has been fine. What is going on now? I really don't know what to do anymore. It seems to me like I'm having side effects from the Yasmin but I can't just go off it. Should I try a different pill? Any advice would be really appreciated, I just need this hair loss to stop. Thanks!
