Jus symptoms and conditions

So my doctor put me on Femcon after I had been bleeding for almost 4 weeks straight. I started the pack on a Sunday like he had instructed and everything was working just fine.... about a week after I started the pill I began getting nauseous. I skipped a pill because it dropped down the drain the next day I started my period which didn't start light but instead started heavy from the start. The next day I was changing my pad every hour as I was soaked. I went to the emergency room and they told me to go to see my Dr. When I got home I went to use the restroom and had a blood clot plop out about the size of cell phone... it was huge. I went to see my doctor and he is putting me on a different heavier hormone pill to see if I can get my bleeding under control. I am still having very heavy bleeding however and it's so draining. Just thought I would share with everyone.

I Just started the lupron injection 2 weeks ago. My side effects have been coming one by one immediately after i had my shot my whole right side felt sore like my arm down to my leg. two days later i felt really sleepy and kept getting headaches that would come an go through out the day.a week into it i had to leave work because i was vomiting constantly it was horrible a just felt so sea sick. i just want to know what else am i in store for? an i'd like to know how much hair loss is it going to be?

i have read almost all of peoples complaints and yes the side effects are horrible for most but the thing that gets me the most is how no realizes that these side effects (e.g. blood clots, mood swings, nausea, etc.) are in ALL birth controls and different people react differently to every medication some jus have worse than others as well as more than others. so if you are experiencing these problems severly and can't take it then u should consult your doctor about what might would be best for you. nuva ring does release a fairly big amount of hormones in your body and will cause nausea, etc. it's the same senario as being pregnant. i have been on nuva ring for almost 2 years and yes i have some side effects but it works for me and i can handle the few i have they're not severe.

hi i have been on Loestrin for about a year an i noticed that my boobs are getting huge my stomach is getting big an i feel like i am gainin so much weight. the thing is that i am only 18 an i jus feel like i am gainin so much wieght i hate it. so do i talk to my subscriber an tell them my effects or what. also does the pill make you sick

hey ladies... i've been on yasmin for a year, had all the effects - i went from being a 34 c, now a 38c/d... i gained 3 stone, in part due to the yasmin, had really teary times, id cry for no reason, and wonder why i cried the next day...

anyway... i came off yasmin - my partner realised that i had headaches at the same time each month - a day or too after comin off the yasmin, until my period started, felt like my vision was... flickery wi the headaches...

so when i last saw my partner - he wrks, an im stil at uni - on the 15 oct, wen my last period started, i decided, no more yasmin...

but today, i woke up feelin crampy, and have had to put a pad on, coz im bleeding! not sure if its jus break thru, or a period, or a withdrawal bleed from the yasmin? any ideas?

also, ive had SO MUCH probnlems wi doctors - one suggested to me this was just "mental issues" i was experiencing - didnt go back to him... ive had coutless blood tests, coz they think i may have an underactive thyroid, goion in for another one, and coz i was originally put on the pill for heavy crampy periods - wen i was 11, thats 9yrs ive been on the pill now, im scared that they will be as heavy and crampy as they used to be - an i may have investigations, swabs etc to see if im alright inside, to see what makes me so crampy... n then, i may be put on the mini pill to stop the cramps!

wish id know how yasmin does make you feel - some drs will not prescribe yasmin, others think its amazing...

its the most expensive contraceptive on the nhs in the uk...

but for me, its not the best for my body...

sorry for the long post, but it needed to be said:)

any advice anyone?

I was on Seroquel for a while because the other Pills I was taking really messed my symptoms up..I had very little problems with Seroquel I had a good night sleep and it made my mood swings very stable..Yea I was happy with that but during the day I would feel like I was zoning out,felt like I was in a dream,and I would always get hungry..I dont need no weight gain..What is Up wit that? I tell my doctor and he jus raises the dosage like its nothing.Its like they really DO NOT care about ppl they just wanna send out meds like candy so they can get their job done.. I dont think they are realising what they are puttin ppl thru.

I don't know if my side effects are from yasmin, im hoping they are im jus having severe mood swings, one min im happy the next im really angry/upset! Im going to c my doctor next week, i really hope it is the pill otherwise im just a nasty person.

Hi everyone,

I am in the first week of using Yasmin for the second month, I am delighted to read your comments as I thought I was jus going a little crazy too, the fits of crying for no reason were the most worrying, it seems very easy to totally take things the wrong way. Anyway my main question is related to BACK PAIN, since starting Yasmin I have had a permanent stiffness and soreness in my lower spine, has anyone else experienced this, I would be very interested to know and it has not been mentioned before.
Thanks

All medications have anticipated side-effects, so why can't we accept the positive benefits of meds provided to the public on a self-selected commercial basis !

Hey Lisa!!

Don't worry!! I understand your pain, because I went EXACTLY through the same thing!!

I remember myself asking my husband a thousand times "Oh my god, I feel like it's all coming back, I'm so afraid everything could get as bad as it was months ago..." and so on. And that happened around the same state as you are now!! And I also remember my mum and my husband always telling me "It won't come back, everything will be better again in a few days, it's just your hormonal imbalance." And I was so thankful for their words!!

And the best of all: They were right !! Evertime I was nearly about to despair (and that didn't happen only once during the very hard last year, but every few weeks!!), a few days further everything had gotten better again!!

It always helped me to remember, that it's all a hormonal thing and hormones are fluctuating over a month. And being on bcp for such a long time (during that time the hormones were constantly nearly on ONE level!) your body reacts to those natural hormone fluctuations more sensitive than before. Your system will gradually get used to that fluctuations again and you won't feel them in such a heavy way any longer!!

I'm 1 Year and 2 months without Yasmin now and still feel those fluctuations very often. But remember that I still didn't get my period again... (last one was on easter 2005.....). So I think in my case everything will be 100% back to normal and healthy again, when I'm finally getting my period.

I hope this helps and feel free to E-Mail me or post here again if you've got any further questions or jus need some pep talk!! I know how important that is, I needed it the same way one year ago!!!

Best wishes, god's bless and keep looking forward to better times Lisa, as hard as it may seem on some days!!!

I got a sever headache right after the shot was givin with in the next four hours i experianced a headach like no other and was throwing up uncontrollabley, as for the rest of the month i had to bear through i couldnt sleep due to the nite sweats. i would awake in puddles litteraly, and then freeze to death trying to go back to sleep in phoenix arizona. i got hot flashes so bad i would feel like i was going to pass out and i seemed to walk around in a daze. Anyway i getting so ill from the medication i lost my job and now i am still here fighting the excruciating pian because even though i cant have kids i am only 23 and i might want one one day. this disease is so hard and for those who cant have kids they wont give you the cure wich is a hystorectomy, so us , all of us unfortunate soles are left to either become addtict to pain killers, because of the severity of the pain, or just try to deal with it, and for those that do i commend you. there has to be some humanity for our kind some kind of treatment that can help us if the doctors wont due surgury and birth control jus wont work besides making us twice as ill from the lupron. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US!
