I have been on the pill for 6 years now. I started with Alesse and found that it increased my hair growth and was put on a higher dose pill which made my gain 20lbs fairly rapidly. Then my doctor put me back onto Alesse and I got a wierd brownish period and was put on Nordette which made me put on another 10lbs but regulated me. Now for the past 31/2 years I have been on Yasmin.I changed to this because it was the latest Low Dose at the time. Now I am severely moody the week before my period. This is something I noticed as well as my husband and family. I have also found that I am staying at one weight despite all my efforts at diet and exercise. I am 185lbs now at 5' 10" and was at the start of this 155lbs. I would like to know about a low dose pill that doesn't affect weight as much and one that will help my mood.
