One of the few symptoms and conditions

I have been on yas since march of this yr. since then my weight has dropped bad. im normaly around 98lbs and at my doc visit in july i was down to 88! everyone is saying im looking skinny then normal. and i eat like crazy. does anyone have this prob? i didnt put it together till my friend said something about maybe side effects.

I guess I have been lucky, I haven't experienced any vaginal pain, excessive discharge, emotional moodswings, or lack of sex drive while on this.

Actually....aside from my boyfriend saying he can feel it at times during sex....I've had no issues with it up until now.

But last night my bf playfully grabbed one of my boobs and I almost screamed from the pain. He commented on how they seemed swollen, and a bit stiff.

Now I am due to take the ring out today, so this may be a side effect that one might experience as it gets close to period time. I'm not sure. All I know is that breast tenderness and swelling is one of the few symptoms I have NEVER experienced. It have NEVER been a PMS symptom for me, nor have I ever experienced it while using other contraceptives.

Has anyone else experienced this while on the NuvaRing?

i just finished my first week of yasmin and i had TERRIBLE nausea on several occasions, especially today. i was basically bed-ridden the entire day and wanted to vomit (but couldn't).

does it get any better? i'd really like to stay on this pill b/c it's one of the few my health insurance will allow.

I was told that, if anything, I would lose weight as a result of taking this med and that it could help a bit with my depression. The opposite has occurred. I gained weight and, as exercise has been one of the few effective ways to address my depression, the added flab made me much more depressed. My energy has been zero at times, I can't concentrate, and my memory is affected. If I felt like this all the time, life wouldn't be worth much.

I was subscribed the 500mg tablets for a throat infectionn. Within 15 minutes of taking this drug, it basically puts me to sleep. One of the few drugs that really makes me tired. Interesting that it is not listed as a typical side effect.
