Jasmin symptoms and conditions

Hello,
I am 23 years old and I have been on Jasmin for 8 days now. After the seventh day of using the pill, my right breast became very swollen and on the outside I have 3 lumps which i never had prior to the pill. Aside from that, under my right arm I got a swollen ball (seems to be a lymph node) and a sore right arm, which I never had before.( I am always examining my breasts and under arms on a regular basis). Therefore, I went to the doctor and they told me that is because of the hormones and its my choice whether I stop the pill or not. Apparently if you stop the pill without finishing the pack you will have a messed up period for a few months. I believe that this pill might work for some people but at the same time doctors should be more careful with what they are prescribing.

I can't believe I have found this site!!! I have been having horrendous but very petty arguments with my boyfriend just lately, to the point I do not know if we are over as he is only speaking to me in a temper voice. Obviously I believe eveything is his fault(!) and now after reading the site I am wondering if it is all actually me and down to my pill, yasmin, as everything I have read about everyones mood swings rings true! I am almost 3 months in and have been experiencing headaches for the first time in my life and I thought it was just one of those things. My breasts are nearly up a whole size and I have become really really self conscious which I have also never been like before and few of my clothes appear to fit. I have also recently visited the Dr's with dizziness which I actually put down to Jasmin although she said it couldn't possibly be the pill and put it down to a dodgy eardrum which she thinks I have - also I believe I have become increasingly deaf... could that be the pill too or am I now blaming everything that is going wrong in my life on that one tiny little tablet????
I am going to book an appointment with my Dr for tonight but am really conscious that I am going to burst into tears the moment I walk into the surgery - is this the table or because of the rows with my boyfriend? (Like the chicken and egg!)
I have been on Dianette for years and have never experienced any problems - surely it can't be that bad, can it?????

I just started the 3rd packet…. Do not know what to think really …
Firstly I start take Jasmin because I was constantly spotting and early painful period. My gynaecology recommended me to take Jasmin for 3 month without break so I did. Thanks!! I have now been spotting more than before (brown discharges) for the past two month and now for the past 4 day I am bleeding???? What is going on?? My sex life is going down hill… migraine and head hake for a weeks …. I feel very tired. But thanks I have bigger bubby but my legs water retention is not flattering. I am so tired of all of this.

Thank you for this site! I am glad I'm not alone:)...I've been on Jasmin for over 4 years. I had mood swings, felt sad most of the time (for no reason), no sex drive, etc.. Several months ago I noticed, sorry to be so graphic, an excessive white vaginal discharge. I went to several different docs, had every possible test done. They all told me all the test were fine, so basically they did not know what was causing this and what it was! According to medicine there was no problem, although the docs could actually see it! It has no smell, doesn't itch, but drives me crazy and it's embarassing, since it increases after the intercourse. I stoped taking Jasmine about 3 weeks ago. (my husband has been using condoms ever since I noticed the discharge) I appologize if this is a bit too graphical. I just hope to find some relation here between the symptoms and Jasmin.
Did any of you experienced something similar?? Please let me know...it's really important to me, because i just don't know what else to do...any idea how long it will last? :((

It sounds like your body is not reacting well to Jasmin. I would take this opportunity to talk to your new doctor about an alternative.

Hi I have been taking jasmin for nearly 4 months now and since i started taking it i have no sex drive and i feel different about my boyfriend sexualy. I also have really bad contipation and constantly tired can someone tell me if they have experienced any of this because i'm thinking of coming of it

Just in case anyone reading the email I last sent thinks that I meant that they are suffering from stress, I actually meant that I think their doctors seem to diagnose everyone taking or not taking Yasmin with stress, (its sold as Jasmin) in France but its the same drug. Sorry for any confusion.

Hi Everyone,
Its me again. Well, just to tell you that I thought that I felt fine whilst I was taking Jasmin for the two years. But my poor husband had to put up with a very depressed and anxious wife with no libido at all. Last year, was our worst year of 11 years marriage ever, we nearly divorced because I was so depressed with absoultely no reason to be whatsover.
Two boys, lovely man, home, job, etc. I now feel more "alive" having stopped taking Jasmin but these heart pains are awful. Can anyone post how long these pains last for on average? Three months, Six months? I had them last month and then they eased off towards the end of the month and now they have come back again everyday and sometimes with a very slight ache in my left arm. I've never felt so fragile. I know my GP will say it is "stress", which seems to be the answer to everyone on this site, and its not true. Any comments would be great.

I have been taking Jasmin for 3 months now and almost instantly started expieriencing severe joint ache as well as severe achnes spots (not many but when I do get one it is severe) and I have had them around my eye as well! My period is heavier as well. Initially I thought it couldnt be Yasmin as the doctor had said it was such a great pill with hardly any side efffects and perfect for me. I have stopped taking the pill and do not intend to take it ever again.

hmm.

ok.

not good.

I have been taking microgynon for 2 months - during which time i have put on weight and a week before each period would have eaten a pint of worms to not feel as depressed as i did.

coupling this i put on stacks - (hey it may stop you getting pregnant but it just make you look and feel 6 months pregnant!)

i had heard that Jasmin would help prevent this due to it's lower doses, so would help not only the side effects like the screaming banshee rearing her head, but would also help reduce weight and help with clearing the skin.....

so you guys - have just ruined my big exciting venture into taking this 'miracle' pill...

soooooo....... whats the deal huh?
we all want the same thing, the same results, what IS the best bloody pill to take???
damn things - i hate the whole package of it all... it's not like our bodies are REALLY going to accept anything is it - it's un-natural, and it does'nt seem fair we have to go through so much s**t either.

if anyone knows of a good one - speak - and quick!

peace & love to every single one of you x
