Yasmin and facial hair?

Hi everyone. I've been on the Pill for a little over 5 years now. I started on Ortho, was on a few generics, went on Ortho Lo, and my doctor recently switched me to Yasmin. Since then, I've started noticing hairs on and under my chin. I don't think I've had this problem with the Pill before, unless I'm just noticing it now. I know Yaz is a different kind of hormone, but I didn't really expect much of a difference since I've been on the Pill for quite some time. Has anyone else noticed this when using Yaz?

Yasmin and Yaz have a different kind of progestin in them, and they tend to affect women differently than other brands. If you don't like the side effects of the one you're on, ask your doctor for a different prescription.

So you see one of Yaz's side effects is increased hair growth. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about it.
