Jess symptoms and conditions

HEY EVERYBODY, IVE BEEN ON FEMCON FE FOR THE PAST 6MNTHS AND I HATE IT. MOST OF THE SYMPTOMS ALL YOU LADIES HAVE, I HAVE HAD AND DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE IT COULD BE THE PILL: WEIGHT GAIN, DIZZINESS, LEG CRAMPS, GROWTH AND TENDERNESS OF THE BREAST, NO SEX DRIVE, ACHNE, AND THE WORST OF ALL AND THAT WORRIES ME THE MOST IS THE GREAT AMOUNT OF HAIR LOSS IM EXPERIENCING!!! IM 22 AND FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IM JUST WONDERING IF ANY OF YOU HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IF YOU HAVE WHEN YOU GOT OFF THE PILL, DID YOUR HAIR COME BACK? YOUR REPLY IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

thank you SOOO much flowerbabies. before this pill i was on alesse. so my hormones werent in a normal state to begin with. i didnt take my pill last night but i think im just going to stay off of it for a while until i can see my doctor. after reading all the side effects on this site im really scared and want to stop it before anything else starts. one of my friends has been on almost all the same pills as i have, with the exception of yasmin and now she is on cyclen.. so im thinking of starting that one because she says its not bad at all.
soo thank you so so so much. i really appreciate you getting back to me!

hi everyone,
wow im so glad i found this site. can someone please get back to me asap! ive only taken 3 yasmin pills.. i just switched off alesse which made my period retarded. my doctor told me that yasmin is new and would be good. so im on that..
i took a pill on sun and mon and then yesturday out of NO WHERE i started to feel SO incredibly sick. i feel like hungover, lightheaded, car sick and have insane headaches that ive never had before. im starting to think its the pill cuz i just finished my period and i know im not pregnant. but i feel like i am! i have never ever felt this sick before.. i feel like i need to throw up whenever im hungry and everytime i talk i feel a big clogg in my throat! my mouth has been SO dry and nothing will make me feel better.
can someone please get back to me telling me if these could be the side effects of yasmin even after only 3 pills? ive felt so sick these past 2 days and i dont want it to get worse!

hi jess,glad i am not the only one with sinus problems,it drives me crazy! snap on the greasy skin/hair. this may just be a hormonal blip that will settle once the body gets back into it's own natural cycle of hormones (this could take a while!) i use the naturally active range by liz earle,not sure if it is available in the USA? i either buy my stuff from QVC or from the liz earle website,i recommend the cleanse & polish and also the super balm concentrate for oily skin,spot on is great for zapping those annoying zits too!

Hi there,

I have been suffering for about 1 1/2 years from the same symthoms. I thought for sure that I was the only one... I was told by my Dr. that YASMIN was "so" safe and very mild, and that i shouldn't suffer from any side effects at all. Yeah right, so much for that! I have not been able to have "NORMAL" sex with my husband for months now, keep in mind I am only 26 and I should have a healthy sex drive. I too have experianced the migrains and the o so horrible bloating. I feel some times that I am not normal and then the crying begains. my poor honey thinks I'm nuts :0( i want my life back!!!! I used to work out 5 days a week, can you believe I am lucky if I can force myself to go once a month. I have NO energy, I mean if it weren't for my husband pushing me I would be on the couch asleep right now! I am afraid to quit the pill, cause my Dr. said, you need to take these in order to prevent your cyst from getting larger. I don't want to have surgery!!!! but, I do have to say i feel more pain every month when ovulating than before the YASMIN. Well, I am sorry that all you girls are suffering, but i do have to say thank god I'm not alone! I feel your pain literally...

Lotsa luv,

Jess
