The Pill after kids

**Roseyposey** · 06-03-2012, 12:54pm

Ahead of docs appt this week am thinking of the options regarding my skin. I'm thinking about anti-b's and also going on the pill for a short while. Last time I was on it, they went and didn't come back (until a very long time later - after having DD). I think I took Celeste and also Yasmin for a while.

Anyone found they reacted differently to the pill after children? I'm also slightly concerned about increased cervical cancer risk so would need to talk to doc about that. It would also address my VERY heavy period problem.......

I went on the mini Pill as I never got on with the combined pill. I was OK on it but am moving on to the coil now as it is more permanent. If you have heavy periods, I have also heard the Mirena helps.

I was on the pill since having my son (6 next month) until last December. I had a 1 year break with the coil.

No problems here with the pill and it def. helped my skin. I went back onto it (had coil out) as I had horrid break-outs.

I was on the combined pill but my minds gone blank on its name

Blue packet beginning with a M I think.

I was on Dianette pre-kids for my crappy skin, then after DS1 the GP suggested I try Yasmin instead as I had been on Dianette too long.

Not had any problems with Yasmin, and my skin is OK, just the odd spot at TOTM!

I've been on Dianette (which was fine, but my GP wouldn't let me be on it for long). I've also been on Celeste, which made me feel suicidal - after that I gave up on the pill altogether

My doc told me the cancer link doesn't stand anymore.

I've been on microgynon before and after kids and get on fine with it.

Yes I was on Dianette at University - great skin, but so much weight gain and v low mood.

Its such a long time ago but I have a feeling Yasmin gave me headaches. I'll need to ask doc which one was the last one i was on as I think that was the best for me, which I think was celeste.

Good to know the cancer risk doesn't stand, I wouldn't go on it for long, just til i get around to endometrial ablation....
