Dark blood symptoms and conditions

I have been on Advair 250/50 for 5 years for asthma. I'm a 48 year old female. I have experienced severe hoarsness and my voice is rough sounding. Some days I am so hoarse that others have a hard time understanding me. I have had 5 kidney stones in the last 5 years, never had one before taking Advair. I had the last one a month ago and it was so large I had to have surgery. I experience nausea about once a day. I seem to always have a headache. I feel tired all of the time. Over the last year I have developed high blood pressure. I have gained 20 pounds. I have rashes on my upper arms that comes and goes. I experience mood swings. The Advair does control my asthma, but these side effects are too much anymore, especially the hoarseness. I am going to ask my doctor for other solutions.

I have been on Ovcon 35 for about a year now. Only within the last three months have I started having side effects such as vaginal dryness, periods that last 10-14 days, dark blood, and almost like clots when I do have my period.

I am 25 years old and have been on Yasmin for almost 10 months now. I was very pleased with Yasmin at first. However, I think this pill has taken a toll on my body that has just recently become evident. I have had many of the same symptoms that have been posted and I attributed them to stress and ignored them---not recommended!

Last year my best friend told me that she had been "spotting" for almost a full month and sometimes would have a thick, clumpy discharge of dark blood on non-menstruating days. She got off of Yasmin and has not experienced this since. Might I also add that she has taken 4 different kinds of BC and didn't have similar side effects with any of them. For the past 3 weeks, I TOO have experienced this ridiculous, ONGOING bleeding/spotting and have ruined most of my underwear collection. I don't think there is anything normal about that! I'm no longer taking this medicine and I hope to regain my former energy and enthusiasm. Everyone responds differently to medication, but life is too precious to spend your days in contortion associated with a sketchy drug like Yasmin.
