Bleeding between periods symptoms and conditions

ok so i just started loestrin 1 week ago. i took my first active pill the day my period started. the first 2 days were fine. my period almost stopped completely. then, on the 3rd day i had as much bleeding as i would during my normal period. im on the 7th day and still have a pretty heavy flow. i know breakthrough bleeding/spotting is normal, but how long? they say up to 3 months but this is so annoying! has anyone completely stopped spotting/bleeding between periods? also, i feel very tired and irritable. help! should i stop taking the pill? and if i stop will i get my regular period?

I have been on Femcon FE since May 8th, 2009. I know not long, but I have a side effect that I have not seen listed here. Anyone having issues with nosebleeds?

I haven't had any for over 5 years then suddenly I have 2 massive ones. I have had some of the sick to my stomach feeling like others have mentioned here. But that is all to this point.

I was put on this med since I was showing a thick uterine wall, painful periods, heavy periods, and bleeding between periods.

Its just the start of the med so I will give it the time to work, but I am sure keeping records of how I feel each day, when I have periods how it goes and what happens between periods.

Anyhow just wanted to ask about the nose bleeds.

TYTY

Well, I am so glad that I read these responses. I have had the absolute worst headache for 1 week now. It is miserable. It is on the right side of my head and goes down behind my right ear. I have even been so concerned about it that I had a CT scan of my head done. It was a pain like I have never had before. I was on the NuvaRing for two weeks and when I went for my yearly, after complaining of the headache, she yanked that sucker out. I have still yet to start a period 4 days after the fact, and welcome it with open arms. Hopefully when this hormone is out of my body, my so called "hormone induced migraine" will leave me. Lortab doesn't even subside the pain. UGH>

I have been on some form of LoEstrin for about a year.At first, I thought the side effects were normal hormone changes with pills.But as months went on, I was incredibly anxious and having panic attacks constantly and that's not my personality.I was more irritable and just didn't feel like me at all.My boyfriend tells me I'm freaking him out because I'm not acting myself at all.I feel like I'm literally going crazy.
I wanted a low hormone pill because my body seems to react to crazy amounts of hormones.I have never gotten a period on this pill and being a woman, I feel it's healthy to have one and it can cause more damage in the long run not having one.Every doctor I see says it's totally normal to not get a period.I disagree.I'm off my pill this week and have no intentions of ever getting back on this pill.
I've been looking into no hormone birth control and am interested in IUDs, specifically Copper IUD.I just can't find any luck with pills and am sick of all these side effects.When are they coming out with the male birth control????

I have been on this pill for 11 months now and it has almost gotten to the point of ruining my life. I've experienced weird symptoms and I thought it was just from some mild changes in my life (just graduated from college, moved away from home, got my first job). But now that I have read all of these comments, I realize that ever weird symptom was from this pill! I have a non-existent sex drive (which almost ruined my engagement to my fiance), I've experience weird hives on my legs, arms, hands and feet. I'm constantly tired. I can concentrate (which has been detrimental to my home and work life). I've gained 11 lbs in 2 months. Hair loss, which is super scary for a 22 year old! I was taking a shower one day, washing my hair, and 2 big clumps of hair just fell out. I was scared to death. I've even experienced an increased heart rate. The scariest time was when I woke up one morning, had a horrible migraine, and my heart was racing. I took a shower and collapsed shortly afterwards. I was rushed to the ER and they did a TON of tests: cat scans, xrays, blood test. All the test results came back normal. I am convinced now, after reading these posts, that it was due to Yasmin! I've never experienced these symptoms on other birth control pills that I've taken. I am stopping this pill immediately & I am looking forward to starting my life, back on track again.

The worst part is that these symptoms that thousands of womens have experienced these symptoms & it is not warned on the label or website of Yasmin! The only side effects they list are the normal ones that are experienced with other BC pills: Headaches, Nausea, Bloating, Bleeding between periods, Breast tenderness, etc.. BUT NOTHING as severe as what we have experienced!

Is there a class action suit against Yasmin? I mean, for all the doctor's visits, ER visit, vitamins, how it has hurt my relationships, work-life & home-life, extra hours of exercising, many months of weight watcher membership fees, the list goes on and on.... I should be reimbursed for this! I could not afford to live like this any longer.

paragard is the IUD that I have-I don't know why it's not listed on here--but here goes---i got the copper iud and it has zero hormones in it! so you don't gain any weight and i have actually lost weight by having it! it has its downsides though--heavier periods that last about 7 days--give or take--i have not had any break through bleeding between periods. you will cramp before you start but midol will take care of it. i'd like to add that in my case, the first period i had was about like the ones i have now but it felt like i was literally having contractions that came about 10 min. apart---though i haven't ever had kids--it hurt!!!! but that was the only time and i have had it for 3 years--i think its like a foreign body that your uterus isn't used to--but it stopped after a few days so don't worry---and you may not ever have that happen so --unlike the mirena--you don't gain weight--hope this helped a little for anyone interested.

hey.. this isnt really a side effect more like a search for some answers. my girlfriend has been taking yasmin for 2months now.. and we have been having unprotected sex for those to months.. 2 weeks ago she had light bleeding for about 4 days, which she thinks could have been her period. but apparently she was early. and it is also apparent that yasmin does cause some mild bleeding between periods. so she assumes it could also be that because usually she suffers from bad period pain and during those 4 days she had none. she is due for her period today but hasn't gotten it. she is suffering from nausea, the degree varies but she says she has it the whole day. her feet have swollen a bit. shes moody and irritable. in short she has gotten all the symptoms of early pregnancy except tender breasts and the missed period. i know the pill isn't 100% effective. whats bothering me is that these early symptoms of pregnancy are also side effects of yasmin (checked on their site at the list of side effects as well as reading up on forums such as this one) and we are now unsure if she is pregnant or not. we are just waiting to see if she gets her period within the next few days and before doing a test. has anyone else experienced this while on yasmin? is this common? im really worried about her, shes not doing to good. has been feeling like this for 3days now. if anyone can give me any feed back it would be greatly appreciated
