First choice symptoms and conditions

For all of you that has had problems with Yasmin or Yaz, I'm sincerely sorry. I'm really curious though to all of you, has anyone that read the leaflet that comes with the birth control box, have any problems? If you read that it may increase potassium which may cause serious heart and health problems so it would be good to get your potassium level checked before taking it. Side effects usually go away after 2-3months, has anyone have problems longer than that and ended up finding out what was the problem? I just wanted to know because my girlfriend is about to take it...and I wanted to know if one knew about the effects of this pill, and what precautions they had taken. Okay, thank you.

I'm taking Yasmin bec i lost my period a year and a half ago. the only symptoms i have had is the nausea and severe stomach pains. Every other night i wake up screaming- the pain is that intolerable! Sometimes I though up and sometimes i just have to wait it out. I chose Yasmin as my first choice for birth control bec I heard that it didn't make you gain weight, however if this is result im not so sure it's worth it!

I first read notes on this site in February 08 when our Doctor prescribed Singulair. My 7 year old daughter is a silent asthmatic which prompted me to push past the side effect warnings written here and give it a go. Rach had strong side effects for the first two weeks & then seemed to settle, so I persevered with it. The drug didn't seem to have no effect on her asthma flare ups but the doctors didn't believe me and encouraged me to keep going. After 6mths I called it quits and took her off it. She's now back to her normal self. No longer emotional, her school work picked up immensely, no more nightmares or unexplained body aches. She does still have tummy aches but they are subsiding. She's been off singulair for 3 months now. Every doctor and pharmacy I spoke to denied the side effects and promoted the product. To anyone researching this drug, do your little one a favour and don't use Singulair unless it is a last resort. There are so many other alternatives out there.

I was just put on the nuvaring and I am not so sure I like it. I suffer from mild depression, now that I am on this I am even more so... I am angry, agitated and yell at my kids often. I don't like this. I have also started to spot and feel crampy and bloated. My periods weren't bad before but is this a sign of bad times to come? I don't like feeling like this and my doctors says stay on it and to go on a antidepressant, not what I really want to do.

I had Mirena inserted at my 6 wk post natal check up, I have 3 little boys. I have not had a period, I have been breastfeeding so this is not unusual. I have had slight pelvic and lower back pain/pressure. I'm not sure what to think if anything. This is the second day. I'm trying to decide whether or not to see my doctor. I'm scaring myself by reading all of this info but don't want to ignore something that may be serious...Any comments or advice?
