Jeez symptoms and conditions

Hi all...I am not currently on Yasmin, but I was on it over a year. Never experienced a SINGLE side effect. In fact, I'm pretty sure that my mood, acne, etc actually IMPROVED with my use of Yasmin. I plan on going back on Yasmin.

For all of the people here who are within the first three months of use of Yasmin or any birth control, my doctor told me that there is a three month adjustment period. Try to hang in there; maybe it will get better.

I'm not a drug rep or anything of the sort...just a satisfied customer. I was once on the patch, but while I used the patch I experienced very serious mood swings. I stuck with it for over two months, and I simply couldn't wait out the three month adjustment period.

If Yasmin isn't for you, try to switch. The patch didn't work for me, but Yasmin did. If Yasmin doesn't work for you, it is not a reason to swear off all birth control pills. The difference between every pill is that there are different dosages. Each pill has a different dosage, so another pill might work a lot better.

Wow. I don't remember when my doc first gave me Yasmin, and I have no records since he's always given me samples. Hopefully it's in my charts. I've taken it on and off over the last year or so. Last October/November I had horrible anxiety/insomnia - never had anxiety before in my life. Then in April I started with IBS. I also get mild migraines (like right now). I never thought it would be my birth control until i noticed a precipitous drop in my libido and vaginal moisture - it's been low for months but lately I can't even "have relations" with my SO because I can't get lubricated at ALL. He thinks it's his fault. I finally started looking into Yasmin as the reason for my sexual dysfunction (I'm only 27 btw), but never expected the anxiety and IBS to enter the picture.

Jeez. And of course I just took the first pill for this month. If I stop taking it now, even after just one pill, I'll just get my period again, won't I?

I literally put it in last night. Immediately I got a headache. I went to work in the morning and noticed my head was still aching, but it got so bad when I got to the office I was forced to take the nuvaring out. I never get headaches, so I knew it was the ring, especially since I saw that was a side effect. I also got nauseated for no reason, feeling dizzy, and as the headache got more painful, I noticed lights were extremely brighter and started almost flashing. Isn't that a migraine? I never get those. So right after I took it out, I felt better. I'm glad the first ring was free because I'm not getting any others. What makes me really angry is this is the third form of hormonal birth control I've used and they are all awful. Are doctors trying to kill us??? Why on earth can't they invent something that doesn't make us gain weight, doesn't kill our sex drive, and doesn't put us on the crazy train to nutsville with the mood swings??? Jeez. I've had it. I'm trying the Today Sponge next.
