Natural family planning method symptoms and conditions

ANY BIRTH CONTROL (INCLUDING YASMIN) MAKES ME CRAZY!!! THANK GODDDD I had a friend who had the same thing happen to her, and she pretty much made me get off, b/c she knew how I started acting was b/c of my birth control. It almost ruined my new marriage...I would cry because of anything and it was SO NOT ME. I even started waking up with anxiety attacks. I was totally depressed all of a sudden, after a year of being on it. I got off of Yasmin and it was like some one turned ON the lights. I am totally back to normal,,now I cry b/c I am SO HAPPY! and looking back I really was crazy, and I couldn't have done anything about the way I was acting. I am SO happy now and my husband doesn't mind the "natural family planning" method b/c he has his normal confident wife back. I guess women do have a needy crybaby stigma.....they're all on birth control. If you're crying for no reason....EVERYDAY.....GET OFF BIRTH CONTROL!!!

Girls everywhere . I have one question and please you can reply in private or on here, whatever you like. Did any of the doctors that prescribed Yasmin to you ever give you a hormonal test? I have been going through really bad emotional mood swings for a white but did not have insurance so never really go myself checked out. So last month I went back to my home country and visited a gyno(where medicine is not so overpriced) who has been recommended to me by numerous people and he did a bunch of hormone tests on me concluded (by blood work) that I have a hormonal inbalance. Before the tests were done he obviously asked me a bunch of questions and I warned him that last time i had gone on a losely prescribed birth control(which is was suppose to be very low hormone dosage) I went practically nuts. After seeing my results and finding my inbalance he has prescribed Yasmin to me because apparently I have too much estrogen and other things I couldnt really understand because I am not a doctor but I think one of the things it does is to block some of these hormone from going to your brain. So My point after all this rambling is that ALL of our bodies are different and all birth controls are different and have different hormones which could drive a normal person insane with or without taking the pills SO my suggestion if you are having trouble with Yasmin is to get your hormone levels checked, Yasmin may be the devil to you but its probably because you dot need certain components that are in it or lack some. Get real tests done!

Like everyone else I was on Yasmin for about 2 years. The first year was great and I was telling everyone how great it was. Then all of a sudden a couple of months ago all the side effects hit hard. I was very emotional, irritable, hungry all the time, sleepy all the time, no sex drive, night sweats, heart palpations (sometimes) and high blood pressure.

I went to the doctor for a complete physical and he never put two and two together about my symptons and the pill. All my blood work showed that I was completely normal but inside of me I knew I wasn't. So I realized that I had to be my own advocate and do my own research. My husband stumbled upon this website and this website has helped me out soo much! I thought I was going crazy and was so relieved to see that it was this stupid pill. To me, it's not worth it anymore so my husband and I are using the natural family planning method. My husband has been so supportive and patient with all my craziness.

So, I have been off Yasmin since June 1st and the first week was great! My energy was back, I could stay up later, felt calmer and had a sex drive. However, right now I feel really irritable and no sex drive. I hope that this is just because my hormones are trying to re-adjust or I am still trying to get the Yasmin completely out of my system.

All I can say is to really listen to your body and if there is something inside of you saying that something is wrong then please don't ignore it. Most of the times we have to be our own advocates for our bodies!
