Murph symptoms and conditions

hi 1concernedboyfriend, as murph said in her previous post please talk to your girlfriend about getting off this pill,there are other contraceptive options that are a much healthier,even another brand of pill if she really wants to stay on oral birth control pills,there is just something very wrong with yasmin,we don't know what yet but it seems to cause terrible mental,physical and emotional problems that can have long term consequences,i have been off yasmin since june 06 and am still suffering mood swings and anxiety.like you my poor husband thought that i did not love him or find him attractive any more,he had to watch his once happy confident wife crumble into this shell of a person who was a wreck,i felt not anxious so much as terrified all day everyday i could not leave the house without a full blown panic attack,i had terrible scary thoughts racing through my mind,i would shake,my teeth would chatter,i could not get my breath. my husband was fantastic and he took over the care of the house and our 2 children because i could not do a thing,i would just shake and cry all day.

hi murph 70,
not sure if this site will help you work out your results,i looked my tsh level up on here.

you could give it a look. i am also having problems with my cycle. i have started to ovulate again (thank goodness!) my periods are still coming between 33 - 38 days instead of my old pre yasmin cycle that was 28 days on the dot. i have some periods that are really heavy and some that are so light they are more like spotting. i suffer pms (with mild anxiety) about 12 days before my period starts until 2 days after bleeding starts. i get an outbreak of acne about 10 days before my period and savage backache just before my period too! all are symptoms of pms,i never had any of these symptoms before i went on yasmin except for the odd monthly spot on my chin! i really wish i had not messed with my perfectly normal cycle but i was totally ignorant to the fact that any of these awful things could happen just from taking a pill,i was told it would improve my life not wreck it!
sorry for the rant murph 70 but i find once i start on the subject i can't stop! hope the site i suggested is of some help.

silke.
my heart goes out to you...... remember you are strong and you will beat this! please feel better soon!
