Yasmin or Yasminelle?

General Health

I will be brief:

Severe adrenal hyperandrogenic PCOS.

-Symptoms:

*Water retention.

*Bloated face.

*Extreme pain.

*Extreme irregular periods.

*Extreme hirsutism.

*When I was younger severe acne, now severe hair loss and hair thinning.

I was put on Diane 35 at 17. LOVED IT. Became a normal healthy beautiful person.

Stopped to have a baby at 23. Worse PCOS than ever. Even worse pospartum.

I was put on Yasminelle. Felt good. Helped with hirsutism, and helped a bit with everything but not as much a Diane.

But it didn't help as much as Diane with my aesthetical symptoms.

Now after my second child My pcos it terrible again...

I don't know if I should go on Yasminelle since I know it feels good or try Yasmin...

Do you think those additional 10mg of estrogen are going to help with my help that much or it's not worth it? Is it worse for bloating face and body water retention in general?

My brain is a mess from trying to decide I need advise.

Pd: I don't want to hear anything about other solutions just BC please.
