:? I started taking thie birth control
pill yasmin28 2 weeks ago, as advised by
my doc, I took it the day of my period. I
had a 9 day period, the last 2 days were
light bleeding. This past 10 days I have
been shedding sooo much hair, its
frightening.
Should I simply get off of this pill?
:cry: especially because I just had a
physical donr 2 days ago and my doc felt
an irregularity in my breast, getting an
ultra sound november 10th and ive heard
that estrogen (in bcp pills) activated
growth in breasts and could potentially
increase the growth of any cancer that I
may or may not have... :?:

This past year my
mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I
know that hormones fed the type of cancer
she had, and they wanted to put her into
menopause early to stop these hormones in
her body. If you have a history of breast
cancer in your family, should you take
birth control that might increase that
chance? I told my doctor that my
grandmother and mother both had it, and
she still put me on Yasmin. Ummm... If I
were you, I would get off it due to the
irregularity with your periods and hair
loss. That would extremely scare me.
