Breast lumps symptoms and conditions

thanks all for sharing and i'm so glad i did research and found this site!

i'm 30... my 1st birth control. been on it for 6 months. it took my body a few months to adjust to the ring... i had constant bleeding for the 1st month... i called it permanent period. it was gross. and then everything was rosy for the next 2 months. until slowly i gained weight and now i've gained 10 lbs. being 5'2" it's very noticeable. at first i thought it was because i'm not walking as much, but it doesn't make sense since i'm probably eating less.
also i feel nausea frequently... almost on a daily basis. i've completely lost my sex drive... which i've never experienced before so took me a few months to connect it to the ring. sex became painful and burned. i feel bad for my boyfriend because i don't feel like sex anymore, when i used to LOVE it. my energy level is low and i noticed my hair falling out a lot and easily.
be mindful of your symptoms... don't explain it away like i did. pay attention to them. i'm taking mine out!

Has everyone developed breast lumps. I have one removed already and diagnosed with fibroses of the beast. My doctor said it is normal for older women, well I am 25(an exception according to doctors). I have been on nuvaring for 7 years and have no family history of any breast issues. Every doctor advised to stay on the ring since they believe my breast lumps are not related.

I WAS ON LUPRON FOR 6 MONTHS. IT WORKED GREAT FOR MY ENDO SYMPTOMS BUT IT CAUSED SO MANY OTHER PROBLEMS. THE HOT FLASHES WERE UNREAL. I WAS NOT MYSELF,MOODY,CRYING ALL THE TIME. IT PUT A HUGE STRAIN ON MY MARRIAGE, FAMILY,AND FRIENDS. I GAINED WEIGHT 10 LB. THE FIRST MONTH.AND ANOTHER 10 THE SECOND SHOT AND STILL COUNTING.LEG PAIN,BREAST LUMPS,DRY SKIN. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR SINCE MY LAST SHOT. I HAVE ALL MY ENDO PAIN BACK, IT CAME BACK ALMOST AS SOON AS THE LAST SHOT WORE OFF. MY DR. WANTS ME TO DO IT AGAIN. BUT I WOULD RATHER SUFFER FROM THE ENDO. I STILL HAVE WEIGHT ISSUES, TERRIBLE MIGRAINS, SADNESS. I DON'T FEEL LIKE I AM THE SAME PERSON FROM BEFOR THE SHOT. I AM 30 YEARS OLD AND FEEL LIKE AN OLD LADY. I CAN BE FINE ONE MIN. AND THE NEXT IN SO MUCH PAIN I CAN HARDLY WALK OR SIT. I DON'T WORK BECAUSE I ONLY FEEL "GOOD" A FEW DAYS A MONTH. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY DR.'S WON'T LISTEN TO THE LADIES WHO HAVE TAKEN THIS DRUG. DO NOT TAKE LUPRON.

Straight from the Yasmin booklet that comes with the pack of pills:
Warning signals:
Sharp chest pain, coughing of blood, sudden shortness of breath, pain in the calf, crushing chest pain or heaviness in cheast, sudden severe headache - vomiting - dizziness - or fainting, disturbances of vision or speech, weakness, or numbness in an arm or leg, sudden partial or complete loss of vision, breast lumps, severe pain or tenderness in the stomach area, difficulty in sleeping, weakness, lack of energy, fatigue, change in mood, jaundice of skin or eyeballs, irregular bleeding, fluid retention, Melasma (spotty darkening of the skin - particularly in the face) and other side effects may inclue change in appetite, headache, nervousness, depression, dizziness, loss of scalp hair, rash and faginal infections.

It makes me furious that some of you have told your doctors outright that you've been experiencing some of the above effects from this pill and yet they tell you to your face that it's not the pill.....(fuming)

The other poster is right - call Berlex and tell them what's happened to you and that Yasmin sucks!!
