I've been on and off of Yasmin for about a year now. It seems like every time I am on it and I have sex I develop irritation. I went to my OBGYN because I was scared out of my mind. I took every STD test you could think of and he finally told me it looked like I was having rough sex. I told him that my sex has not changed at all. I did an experiment and got off of it for a few months and didn't have any problems down there while I was off of it...but as soon as I got back on it I develop irritation after having sex. I also notice that my urine smells very different and I am thirsty all the time. I can never get enough water. I thought maybe this pill was causing me to have UTI's. Has anyone else had these problems?

This is the first time in my life i take any OCP. I started with Yasmin and took my first pill on my first day of my period... first three days i was in heaven, my period wasn't heavy and i had no pain (which is unusual for me) Unfortunately tho on the fourth day i began having painful cramps and they've been with me ever since, this is my 6th day!! cramps are still here and so is the bleeding! i thought it should make the period better and not worse! Is this normal for newtimers or should i get worried?

I am in pharmacy school, and we just learned about endocrinology - and I had known that Yasmin made my BP go up and what not, and I was starting to notice other things, and then as we learned about different endocrine topics, OCP always is mentioned as something that throws stuff out of whack...So that day (something like 5 days into a pack) I just stopped taking them - I was like "I can't do this to myself another day!" and stopped. How ridiculous - I needed a second period within ~2 weeks like I need a hole in my head, precious precious iron lost (I don't eat beef)...so now, I feel my heart racing, I'm betting my BP is still high, I've got a headache kind of constantly and I feel like I could burp all the time, but when I do, it is not satisfying as I would hope...I just feel kind of half-nauseous all the time and SO anxious - I have tried to turn symptoms into really alarming medical problems and can hardly fall asleep...I've been drinking water like it's going out of style in some sort of effort to flush the crap (both meanings - yasmin and poo) out of my system...In an anxious fit I searched just about every medical source I can think of, in every way I can think of, for symptoms associated with stopping birth control, and I can't find much about it anywhere! Arrggh...male-centered medicine strikes again!
Anyway, glad to have found you ladies - I don't feel so worried or alone...
For those of you who said they had bloating when they stopped - did you feel like you had to burp and couldn't, and how long did that last?
