Brevinor pill

[Pam55]

Hi ladies,

I currently take Yasmin pill but I have started getting lots of hot flushes and sweating day and night. I have taken Yasmin for nearly 2 years. My GP has changed my pill to Brevinor as it contains a bit more estrogen to help control the my body temperature and sweating.

Has anyone got any experiences they can share of Brevinor? Is it good for PCOS ladies?

Many thanks

Not heard of this pill but Yasmin I would take 3 months on the trot which reduced the symptoms hugely so may be worth trying this with this pill too, so no pill break at all. Sadly now I am the big 50 I have to come off yasmin - dreading it.

Hey I was given brevinor aged 19-25 but i started to bleed sporadically, a biopsy showed the high estrogen had made the lining of my uterus grow outside the cervix and its more fragile so was bleeding. As soon as i changed to yasmin..all was good. Until I got horrid anxiety so given up on it all! Au naturale!

Hi,

Thanks for sharing your experience of Brevinor pill.

My GP has confirmed my symptoms are consistent with low estrogen, also I have recently turned 41 yrs old!

I'm quite suprised high estrogen pill was offered to you at such a young age.

Thanks
