Brave women symptoms and conditions

Funny...Me and my Boyfriend of 3 years just had this big heart to heart today trying to figure out...WHERE MY SEX DRIVE WENT???? So we put two and two together in the time frame is seemed to have been "lost" in, and we came up with YAZ. Thats not why I ended up on this site at 1am though...

As we were lying in bed, I got sudden mild chest pains in my left side and my left arm went numb. All I have ever known about these symptoms is that you are having a heart attack! As I get outta bed Travis says "what are you googling?" Him knowing that I am a hypercondreact!

I had decided today to stop taking the pill not willing to risk my wonderful sex life and relationship. I said goodbye to my wonderful FULL C breasts :( I will keep you posted on my after side effects! Good luck to you brave women!!!

Wow. I found this site after looking up causes for lack of sex drive. I've been on Yasmin for 6 years, but never thought for a minute it had anything to do with the problems I've been having. Loss of sex drive, vaginal dryness, hair loss, mood swings (partners always gets the brunt of those), repeated bouts of chest pains (diagnosed with pleurisy recently, don't know if there is a link).

I had got to the point that I thought this is just the way I am, it never occurred to me that something else could be causing this. I can't even remember what it's like to be normal.

I already have 2 kids and don't want any more at the moment so I don't know what the solution is. Well, I haven't wanted sex for the last few years so i suppose the bloody thing has done its job in that way!

I'm just shocked, this has been a real wake up call. I'm stopping taking the evil little things as of now.

what a life saver this site has been. I have been on the NuvaRing for about 6 months. It worked fine the first month but since then I have noticed a downward spiral of my health. My doctor sold me on the easiness of the product. It had gotten so bad that I spent every night on WEB MD trying to self diagnose my self. I had myself convinced that I had diabetes (I am a healthy 30yr old who does not smoke or drink) when I stumbled onto this website. I took my nuva out on Sunday and have seen an upswing of my mood. my yeast infection has went away, I have dropped 8 pounds and the rash under my breasts have finally starting to fade. I have seen so many women on the internet that have died from complications from the nuva. I am so grateful that we all can post our stories and warn other women! Thank you to all you brave women who posted your stories before. you saved lives.

I've been using Quasense for over a year without any problems...until now. Usually, my periods are 2-3 days. Yes, I'm very lucky. But for the last 2 weeks, I've been bleeding. Not spotting. F-ing bleeding. Every f-ing day. Why a drug that claims to lessen the amount of periods a year concluded to have this god-awful side effect is beyond me. Quasense needs to be taken out of the market - immediately. This is a worthless birth control pill. I've been on 3 other kinds before (Ortho-Tri, Seasonale, and Jolessa) and I've never had a problem. And I've used Quasense for over a year! You would think my body would acclimate to the drug already. This is complete BS. I'm a healthy woman and I KNOW it's not me. I fully blame Quasense, the incompetent idiots who synthesized this useless drug, and the diabolical pharmaceutical salespeople who pushed for a drug that should not have ever been released to the public. Speak up, brave women! The drug companies won't do it for you!
