I'm taking Yasmin BC with my PM product. I don't think the PM has had any affect on the BC, so I'm sure that the PM effects must be reduced somehow for me.
I actually take a little more than the recommended dose because my body is just strange and doesn't react to medicines or herbs the way it should for a normal person. I always have to take 2-3x the normal amount for something to work for me, which is why I can't take more of the over the counter medicine....
I wouldn't recommend taking more than needed though if your on BC. Talk to your doctor about it or something because a lot of sellers and people taking it say don't use BC with PM products.
I take 500 mg with Yasmin, on earlier cycles I sometimes took 1000 mg. I don't get delayed periods like lots of women seem on PM without BCP but yeah the risk of clotting is higher.

If you use PM with birth control you are increasing your risk of pregnancy. The role of BC is to lower LH.
PM interfers with this medication. If your want to get pregnant and you do not believe me .....carry on!
