If you aren't seeing breast changes, then maybe you should try the Ortho? Did Lenore suggest adding any progesterone?

She did suggest the Ortho but it was because the clinic no longer recommends taking Yasmin. Do you find that some women respond to one type BCP and others respond better to another? Our bodies are all different.

For one thing. the Yasmin made me nauseated. I don't know if another one would have, but I felt awful the whole time I was taking it.
I also managed to have the period from hell while still on the pill (even skipping the placebos). It was 3 weeks long, heavy, and painful. If I ever do this again, I'll try something else.

Hi Everyone, Update... I have just completed two full months on Yasmin and I am just starting to feel some breast tenderness.  I am going to remain on the birth control pill for two more full months and then start pumping. I will keep you posted as I go along.

Jennifer (jenmarko) question??
You have been around awhile and talking to many people. I have read many posts from people that where on the Yasmin BCP doing the regular protocol that had little or no breast changes but can't find much information on how milk production worked out for them. I have read yours stated many times, that is Yasmin worked out very well and both times you did achieved full milk supply. Do you remember if most people using Yasmin had the same success rate? No breast changes but the Yasmin was still very successful?
Thank you Jennifer for any help,
Colette

I honestly don't know. I know Yasmin was the recommendation when I started the protocol and I did see quite a few people having good results with it. But I think the breast changes is dependant. I do have a bio son and I didn't have much breast change while pregnant with him either. My breast change came after I started bf.

Thank you Jennifer. I did spend a few hours last night sifting thru a search for Yasmin and success rates and all that I found actually where very successful! Most little if any breast changes. When I do start pumping, I will post my progress for people to draw upon my experience.

Baby is expected to be born early. Due date was February 3rd but doctor has put her on bed rest hoping to make it as long as possible. So my regular Protocol has turned to accelerated Protocol! I was on Yasmin for 68 days.
Started pumping yesterday and at first pumping I got 5 ml !! Then second 2 ml. Then only .9 mil.
Today it is just drops. I know hormones are very much still in my system but was so excited with the huge start... Now I guess reality is here. I am really so excited though to be doing this amazing journey!
