None of those things symptoms and conditions

i am 24 and i was on loestrin 24 for 8 months. at first i didn't notice any side effects but gradually i became lethargic, moody, and i lost my sex drive almost completely. none of those things described me in the slightest before i started taking this pill, in fact i used to wonder if pms was a myth...now i KNOW its so real.anyway because of the lethargy i was having i went to the doctor to see if maybe i was having thyroid problems, i wasn't but he did tell me that studies he has seen link hormonal birth control to breast cancer and advised me to get off the pill. kinda scary i know. i did quit and ive been off for about a month now and i swear its like night and day, im not moody, i have energy and my intimate life is back to normal, im so happy i quit.

I've been using NuvaRing for 3 weeks now, and I haven't felt none of these symptoms. I wonder if anyone of you have had these symptoms in the past with any other birth control method. I heard that it could be part of a family history thing. I just hope i don't get none of those things, because to be honest, I am pretty impressed by NuvaRing so far. For me its perfect, I don't feel it at all (not even while I have sex). Please, if anybody could answer me back, please do, because now I am very confused with all this comments. Thank you!

i am on my last pack of pills for yasmin. my gyn put me on loestrin starting next month. i hope i have a better experience with that than yasmin. at first i didnt notice any side effects at all. then within the past couple of months (ive been on yasmin for about 6 months) i have noticed so many problems.
i am prone to migraines, but i am getting migraines at least twice a week which has severely effected my work and school life.
i had an ear infection.
ive gained close to 20 lbs (!!!!!) when in the past few months my lifestyle has been healthier and more active than it was when i started this pill. it just doesnt make sense to gain so much when i have improved my lifestyle..
i find i am moody and depressed, if something bad happens, even if its something little, i either get so uncontrollably angry or sad and i cry all the time. im not normally this emotional, ive even cried at work. its so embarrassing.
ive also noticed that after any meal i feel like i am extremely bloated and my stomach starts hurting. it doesnt matter what kind of food, it could be healthy, greasy, veggies, or cereal..no matter what my stomach always hurts to much afterwards.
i am also getting night sweats and horrible back pain, especially when i go to bed.
i am gassy, and my cramps last for my whole period. none of those things ever happened before i was on this pill.
my libido went down, however i think this is due to the weight gain. i have never felt so disgusting in my whole life.
i have gone through many pills, and the nuvaring as well. none of them have had side effects on me as yasmin.
does anyone have any suggestions for other pills for me to try? i am willing to give loestrin a chance, especially because it is a lo dose pill..and i know that everyones bodies are different. i just feel so lost..i hope this new pill works out better.

Finish out your pack and then stop. One of the worst things you can do is stop taking birth control mid-cycle.

When you do come off Yasmin, it can take up to 6 months for your body to normalize, you may have some symptoms that are even worse for a while, but that's because your body is trying to regulate itself back to normal hormonal levels. There are some supplements you can take to support that process.

I came off Yasmin two months ago, and I feel fine. My period has come right on time and normal. (I was pretty regular before Yasmin) In fact, by blood pressure has gotten so much better that my doctor reduced my medicine in half. Everyone is different, so just be patient and try to eat right, exercise and get plenty of sleep so that you know none of those things are contributing factors to your health.

Good luck ladies!
