    I am about to try Nor-QD.. an oestrogen free - progesterone only pill or mini pill.. my Yasmin REALLY didn't work out for me. I gained weight, got cellulite, got hormonal episodes even outside my period, water retention (if that's what it's called) so I blamed the oestrogens. Just don't need more than what my body is already producing.

    So has anyone ever been on a non-combination pill? How did it go for you?

    I didnt even know they existed. I hope it works better for you. I just stopped taking my birth control about a month ago. I am a total cow now.

    Good luck!

    I'm weary of any bc pills, but kinda curious about an estrogen free one.

    Let us know how it goes. That sounds interesting. I have been on a combo pill since I was 14 or 15 years old, and a switch would probably be good for me.
