From what I've read, what my doctor has told me, and what I've experiened, a lot of this BCP stuff has to do with what your body can handle. I was originally on Mircette but I didn't like the cramps, etc. that I was experiencing with it. I switched to Ortho-tricyclen and I couldn't be more happy with it. I didn't gain weight, my skin looks good, and the cramping isn't as bad as it was before.
I know people who are on Yasmin and gained weight or lost weight, people on the patch that gained tons of weight.... it has to be a body chemistry thing. What I've come to learn is that with PCOS every woman is different in terms of hormone levels and sensitivity. It is so frustrating!
I hope Mircette works well for you!
