Hi all, I am currently taking the yasmin 21 days combined pill, im on my third month and my past two periods have been fairly heavy. Does anyone else know when your periods will get lighter?

Thank you!

the question in the title!

Am I the only one who is shocked about how bad Shout has gone, yesterday I had texted them and did not get a response for ages, I decided to opt out, this morning I tried again and waited for another response, I finally got one from a Volunteer, after messaging them they never responded. Has anyone else experienced this?

Back in April 2026, I had emergency surgery to remove an ovarian cyst.

My first period after the operation came 26 days later and was much heavier than normal. Usually only days 1 and 2 are heavy, but this time all 5 days were quite heavy.

My next period came 35 days later. I had spotting for the first couple of days, then a heavy flow, and the whole period ended up lasting 11 days.

My doctor started me on Yasmin, and I'm currently on my first pack. I am now on the 7 day break and ive been getting:

Cramps

Feeling very tired

Random episodes of feeling cold

Knee pain

I thought Yasmin was supposed to help with heavy periods, but I'm not sure if it's too early to expect that. Has anyone else had a similar experience during their first pack? Did things settle after a couple of months?

Would you recommend sticking with it for the next couple of packs, or should I contact my doctor sooner because of the heavy bleeding before starting it and these side effects?

I know im probably gonna get downvoted a lot which is fine, i don’t mind different opinions but it just seems like this sub always comes up with different ways to hate Kendall Vertes, let me know ur thoughts!

Hi everyone. I’m based in the UK and just finished college. Back in school, they drilled it into us that we need a LinkedIn, but I ended up deleting mine because the email notifications were constant and felt like spam.

Now that I’m looking for work, I’m wondering: does having an account actually help you get hired, or is it just a digital CV that no one looks at? Would love to hear from anyone who actually got a job through it (or anyone who manages fine without it). Thanks!
