This is my first month on this pill, and i started my period two weeks before i was suppose to start. I've had AWFUL mood swings, and there have been a couple of sleepless nights due to cramps. My periods usually last no more than a week, and I've been on it for close to two weeks, and might I add that it is VERY heavy. My face hardly ever breaks out ( knock on wood ) and now its broken out everywhere! Randomly throughout the day, I feel like i could just collapse at any given time. I got on the pill to regulate everything, not make it worse. Hopefully this is just my body getting use to it!

I came to this website because my period came on ealry this month, it was on time last month, but i was late in May. So I am really confused. But then I satart reading these other girls side effects with YAzmin and realize that we are all in the same boat. I dont like to leave the house except to go to work, I have even been distant and pissy with my boyfriend. Ive snapped on people, and I do have a quick temper, but I dont snap that quick. And also my libido has been weird, sometimes I have to sike myself to get interested, and sex with my man has always been off the chain. I appreciate you all sharing your experiences. I kept a log of whats been going on with me, I also experienced a little breakouts, but hen my skin has been really dry. And I gained alot of weight within that first month, which is not normal for me. I had to drastical eat like a rabbit just to get the weigh back off because exercise alone was just not doing it, and if you ask my friends, I was always a picky eater from the beginning. My mom has talked to me about the IUD (inter uterine device) and it is completely hormone free, and 99.9% effective. I think I may go that route.

I am so glad that I found this site. I've been using the ring now for 3 months continually. I just don't want to have a period anymore and my doc seemed to think this was a better option that an IUD. Well ever since I've started my depression is worse!!! (I have post partum). I just went to see my doc about adjusting my meds. I've also had severe vaginal irritation and a raging yeast infection. And let me tell you about sex. there's been none of that going on and my husband is starting to get pissy. This is just not worth the frustration. The only problem is that I just had my script refilled for anouther 3 months. I just hate to think of losing the $45 I just paid. But mental health and a happy husband is definetly worth it.

I didn't know that taking a simple BC pill could cause all of these problems and symptoms. I recently started taking Yasmin again after being off of it for a year, and now I am just realizing the changes it makes in my personality and lifestyle. Why didn't my doctor catch this when I was having problems with anxiety and depression a year ago? Instead she just gave me another pill to take (lexapro), which was obviously only to counteract the side effects from the Yasmin.
Now that I am taking it again for the last month, I am starting to get pissy and moody over small things that haven't bothered me for the last year. My libido is completely gone which is causing my boyfriend to think that he is doing something wrong....and I hardly have the motivation to do anything anymore other than lay around. Also my boobs are in such pain that I have begun walking around holding both of them in my hands to protect them from getting bumped!!! How could one little pill cause all of these crazy problems????
One side effect I have not read about though...Has anyone ever noticed any type of musky/fishy odor that only comes right after intercourse? I have gone to the doctor about this and she can't come up with anything that is causing this. I have been tested for all STD's, and given a UA to rule out bladder infections, and she also did a culture to see if I have a yeast infection....all of these came back negative....the problem only started in the last month when I started the Yasmin again!!!
Do you think this pill could be the stinky cause?? I would appreciate anyone's comments being that my doctor can't seem to find the problem and refuses to admit that Yasmin could be what is causing over half of the symptoms I have had!!!!

I started taking it the first month of my marriage (oct) and it drained my sex drive away within a month. I felt depressed. moody, super irritable and pissy. I picked fights and avoided sex. It was a really bad way to start the marriage. But I figured it was yasmin and now that i found this site, I know it's true. I went off 2 days ago and I got a little breakout (probably hormonal) and I want to have sex again. My husband is adorable (always was) and I don't feel down in the dumps. I seriously felt like I would never be happy and that I would never want to have sex again. That was so unmotivating for me to try to do anything positive. Other side effects: hair loss, slight weight gain, tender breasts - to the point that no one can touch them in my second and third weeks of the pill, and oh what else?...when I would get woken up in the night I was the widest awake I' ever been, could not go back to sleep for the life of me for hours and hours. Anyways, thanks for sharing your experiences and I'm feeling better already. I wonder how the mice feel that have to test this stuff before us.

I wouldnt wish the withdrawl symptoms on my worst enemy! they are killer and will make you feel like you wanna do anything to get more. you should never have to feel like you need anything to function right. sure they made me fell great but when they're gone your body goes into achy, painful, irritable,pissy, depressed mode! DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDIC ATION FOR TO LONG OF A PERIOD....YOU WILL FEEL LIKE YOU WANT TO DIE!

I just got Mirena on Monday of this week, April 13th. The procedure was terrible! I thought I was going to pass out and I deal w/ pain pretty well. Tuesday was ok. But by Wednesday I could already tell a difference in my mood. Today is Friday and I feel like I could exploded I am SOOOO pissy! I am having heart flutters, grinding my teeth and my fuse is so short I feel like I am going to loose it! Last night I didn't even want to deal w/ my son who is only 2months old, this is my first child. Usually when I get home from work all I want to do is spend every second w/ him! Not to mention I don't even want to kiss my husband much less have him touch me! On top of it all I have had non-stop heavy bleeding. Can Mirena cause all of this sooo soon? I feel like I could cry any second now and my head is killing me!!!
