Paul Rivera said:Well, Yaz is made by Bayer, so the price is high$49 (until recently $39, though Bayer hiked prices on several products lately), while Novynette $30 comes from Basel. Both are low-dose pills. With Yaz, you get a 4-day break every month, whereas Novynette gives you 7 days—that's when you'll see your period.
Your doctor likely recommended those specific brands for a reason; it probably depends on your blood work, why you need them in the first place (contraception, PCOS, or whatever), and things like that. 🙂
I'm on Yaz myself and I'm pretty satisfied with it (plus, I guess I just trust Bayer more 😬), and I read somewhere that shorter breaks are generally better.
Qlaira is the newer option from Bayer. The price is currently $40, but I suspect it'll jump soon, just like it did for Yaz and Yasmin. They only have a 2-day break.
It’s all highly individual. Neither you nor your doctor can be 100% certain how a specific pill will hit your system. You might just have to try one, and if it doesn't work out, switching is easy enough. 😉
Maybe look through the older posts in this thread; there's plenty of advice and personal stories there. There are also separate threads for every single type of pill. 🙂
I suppose you should take everyone's experience with a grain of salt, though. Everything is different for everyone, and people react to these things in their own way.
