Chest hair symptoms and conditions

I will have had the Mirena IUD in for 3 years in July, and I have gained 55 lbs. Hair loss, acne on my back arms face chest, hair growing where I don't want it to grow, stomach cramping, bleeding at irregular times, sometimes for weeks, sometimes for hours, sometimes spotting, sometimes I have a heavy downpour. Joint pain, and headaches I also have, and my breast size has increased another cup. my sex drive has decreased. I need something else, I have tried depo, which I gained 35 lbs on, lost the weight, then went on the patch which I gained 25 lbs on, lost it, and now with the IUD gained 55 lbs!!!! I also gain another ten lbs every time I get my period, from bloating or something, and then the day after my period end i lose 5, and then lose another 3 to 5 the week after that, but never anymore. Any suggestions on a different BC maybe WITHOUT the hormones?????

I have been on Yasmin twice now, with a 6 month break while using Yaz (got free samples). The first time was for about 2 years. Now it's been 5 or 6 months. Both times, I have had the following side effects, but did not realize they were the pills fault, until I started taking it again -- and noticed the trend. These side effects are particularly bad the first 3-4 months of Yasmin, and then my hormones seem to level out...

1. Weight gain. I have gained 5 pounds since restarting Yasmin this summer. I am dieting and exercising, and I think that if I weren't fighting as hard as I am, my weight gain would be significantly higher.
2. Facial and random body hair. Ok, gross and embarrassing. I have had random chin hair pop up, and one strange chest hair that comes right before my period. These were not an issue while on Yaz, or after my body became accustomed to Yasmin last time. I am not normally a hairy woman. Seriously!
3. Pimples. These were the worst pimples I have EVER gotten, and had to visit a dermatologist for serious medicine to counter my acne. I literally have ACNE SCARS from the huge, severe cystic acne that I have while on this pill. I do not normally wear makeup, but no makeup could cover these HUGE zits! This is awful for the first 3-4 months, and my skin flairs up on the 3rd and 4th week of the pill still. People didn't even know they were pimples, as they were so big and red. Beyond pimple size. I don't know how to explain this well enough -- literally quarter sized. I am currently on my last week of pills for the month (week before period) and have a large cystic pimple that doesn't even look like a zit, because of it's size!
4. Heavy, inconsistent periods. My period last month lasted 4-5 days (about average for me). I bled through tampons and actually had to double up. For example, I changed my tampon right before I left the house for work one day. I got to work (30 minutes) and had bled through my heavy tampon, panty liner, underwear, and into my jeans. This is NOT acceptable!
5. Grumpiness. Yes, I'm a bit grumpier and more emotional than usual, but counter that with increased exercise (also to fight the weight gain).
6. Sex drive. Point blank: I have not had an orgasm since being on this pill. I'm a married woman, and that would be nice to have once in a while.

What shall I do about this? Nothing. Apparently Yasmin is supposed to be the best pill out there for weight gain, acne, and facial hair. So, they are telling me that other pills would be even worse...? Does ANYONE have a useful suggestion for a new birth control pill that will have fewer side effects?

I'm 21years old. i took Yasmin for a year because i have PCOS. but had to get off of it because i could no longer afford Yasmin. i have been off of Yasmin for a year. i always thought that the problems i was having was due to PCOS. i was reading the side effects the other girls had with Yasmin. and its sounds just like the problems i have had. i had pain on the right side of my head it lasted for about 2 weeks. i wonder what it was but didn't think much about until now. about a week ago i woke up and my neck was hurting so bad i could not move it i took a pain pill and it did help a little. i thought it was the way i slept that night but its still hurting not as bad. i started losing my hair on head my 3 week on Yasmin , and started growing more chest hair ,neck, chin, lip hair on the 4 week, pain in my chest sometimes and pain in my arms and legs and almost like move met like someones kicking inside of my stomach but i not with child done had i test ran i feel very mad all the time anything upset me i get really pissy at time and its been like that since my 1 weeks on Yasmin has anyone else had any this happen to them

I have been taking proscar as treatment for my prostate cancer for 2 years now and side affects that come and go are extreme dry skin on my eyelids and corners of my mouth. Extreme dry skin on my testicle sac.
Some fatigue and some depression. My chest hair is pretty much gone.

I was diagnosed with Crohns about 2 days after my 21st birthday, in April 2003. I was put on 40 mg of prednisone and was to stay on it for a few months, slowly weening off, lowering the doses weekly. Side effects weren't that bad then, only a slight weight gain, which wasnt that bad since i lost about 30 lbs before i went to the hospital, so 10 lbs or so wasn't a big deal. What I noticed later, maybe 6 months of not taking the meds, was that I now had serious depression, mood swings, fatigue, face, back and chest acne, and chest and facial hair! I can deal with the depression but no female should have chest hair! Anyway i realize the meds helped heal me but in the process they've really done a number on my self esteem!
