Poor libido symptoms and conditions

I have been on Yasmin for 4 years and have suffered with constipation, poor libido, headaches, exhaustion, depression... I just got onto this website today wondering about side effects as I have lost all hope. The past four years I blamed my symptoms on a major snowboarding accident that happened around the time I began taking Yasmin, which 4 years later I am beginning to question? I am 26 and I feel like my husband got screwed as I was normal before we got married and since the Yasmin, everything has changed. I have to take glycerin laxatives once or twice a day; if I don't take them I have a fever between 99-100 degrees daily. I tried miralax (the whole bottle), natural laxatives, fiber, zelnorm and nothing happens. The zelnorm seems to help the bloating and gas more than anything but doesn't help the constipation. I went to the gastro and got a CAT scan. The doc said I am chronically constipated and if I don't continue taking laxatives I could end up in the hospital getting surgery!!! I am a joyful person and enjoy life but just 4 months ago I couldn't deal anymore and went to the doctor because I would sleep 8 hours at night, go to work, come home and sleep 3 hours, have dinner with my husband, and go to bed again. He put me on protac but I wonder if this is all related to Yasmin!? Any insight?

My now 17 year old daughter was prescribed Yaz back on 7/12/07. Since then she has had an extreme problem with constipation. She has been to the doctors several times, and is now seeing a gastrointestinal specialist because she can only have a bowel movement if she takes a laxative. The pediatric doctor had her on miralax from April to October trying to get this problem under control. It has not worked. We are seeing the specialist and they are running her through a battery of tests, which will now possible include a colonoscopy (at 17 !!!!). She has been extremely moody and aggravated - which I attributed to her age of course. She is no longer extremely athletic, she doesn't really do a lot. She is not the same person, definitely is a homebody now - never going out hardly with friends,etc. She has also had a 20 pound weight gain and for a tiny girl, this has had a huge effect on her. I have watched all of this, and never really thought about the yaz connection until today when a friend sent me this email with a link to this site:

that is when I got scared thinking maybe her problems were all caused by yaz. of course her acne cleared up, but her periods are still irregular and spotty. has anyone else experienced the bowel problems???
