Methods of contraception symptoms and conditions

Ok, it has been almost 2 weeks post removal of my Mirena. I last posted on this site on 5th August.

After light bleeding and slight cramps on the second day (after returning to gym too soon I have noticed a change in how I am feeling. Generally more interest, energy and clearer in my thinking.
I must also mention my feeling of 'sadness' has gone, no headaches or body aches. Not as tired at the end of each day either.

I haven't started to lose weight yet even though I have returned to gym, give it time I guess.
Generally I feel much happier and just knowing I no longer have the Mirena is a huge relief!!
I have experienced light bleeding over the past two days but nothing to be worried about, I expect it will stop in the next day (hoping).
I mentioned I was taking the contraception pill (until my husband has his vasectomy). We (meaning my husband and I) felt it best for me to go 'cold turkey' and not take any contraception to allow my body to get back to normal quicker. Other methods of contraception required (yuk) but necessary and worth it. May be why I have the bleeding because when I think about it the bleeding started a day after I stopped taking the contraception pill??

This really confirms to all you ladies out there, if you are having any side effects at all, it's not worth it YOU NEED TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT NOW!!! Life is too short.............................make the most of it.

I'm a 30 year old woman and I've been taking Yasmin for 4 months now. I've been reading what people have been posting here and I'm wondering if I'm alone in having the following symptoms:
-severe breast pain for one day in the middle of my cycle, followed by mild breast pain until I get my period,
-painful cramps in the middle of my cycle,
-weird sharp internal vaginal pain, (sorry for the graphics, but especially during climax),
-acne problems,
-depression
The last two, I did see that people wrote about on here. I called my doctor today and I'm requesting a new pill. I thought that after a couple of months the symptoms would equalize, but after this last month, I decided I couldn't live with it. The breast pain especially has been very painful.
