S hill symptoms and conditions

Hi Everyone it's Hill.
I've been off Yasmin exactly 10 weeks and 1 day. I have been feeling really well. Almost back to my old self again. Just to update. I went off in the beginning of my new cycle. I think I took two pills. Then I immediatly got my period.

I got it again exactly 28 days later for about 3 days. Last week I started spotting a little bit every day, not much though. I thought that was my period, since the last one was short. Although mon, I got what I can only imagine is my real period and I have had it since. I am pretty tired and kinda just down right now or blah. I don't feel quite myself. A bit dizzy and weak etc. I know it's because of my period but just wanted to see who else went through this, after being off of it so long. Because last month I was fine. I guess I'll have my ups and downs.

I haven't had any numbing in my arm and face for a long time, however I had it a bit this morning very slight. I guess this is again normal from what I have read here.

Also I know I have posted this before, but I really need help in losing the weight I gained in the past 6 months before I stopped Yasmin.

I am taking women's one a day every day, vitamin E as well as Vitamin B b/c I readsome where that helps regulate periods. I take yoga 1-2 times a week, run 2 times a week and walk or hike 1 day a week. I really thought the weight would fly off, but it seems as if i'm getting bigger and bigger and my skin isn't as firm.

Any suggestions?
Thanks so much

Hi, Twogirlsmom, Lisa, Silke, Chrissy and everyone out there it's Hill.
I am on day 34 post Yasmin. If you read some of my earlier posts, I too got a cold, felt horrible and got some of my symptoms back during the cold. I also had/have the bloating/swelling. I should get my period very soon. If I was still on Yasmin I should have gotten my period last thursday, however, when I stopped my pills, even though I had just menstrated, I got my period again about 4 days after stopping for a few days so it should be here soon.

As for the swelling, yesterday my ankles were the size of my thighs, as well as my hands. My fingers were huge, none of my rings fit. And while I was on Yasmin, my face was rather enlarged, around my cheeks. Right now everything is bloated. I am assuming it is due to almost that time of the month and first real cycle off pills.

Driving to work I almost had an anxiety attack, but I some how controled it. So what I'm assuming is it's just because my little ole friend is due, and he doesn't know how to act with out that horrible drug or something.

So keep sharing your experiences I know they helped me so much,
Hill

Hi Everyone it's Hill, here is my weekly update. It's has been officially one month post Yasmin He*l. I have had 2 or 3 pretty good days in a row. Very very slight numbing and tingling, but I mean slight. I felt really good today, however, I'm starting to feel bit week and groggy. I'm assuming this is b/c when on Yasmin I would normally be starting my period tomorrow like clock work. I'm not sure if it is actually going to come or not. So I'm just writing it off as that time of the month. Did most of you experience a timely menstral cycle, or was it delayed?

I was also wondering if anyone has felt completely starving after stopping Yasmin. I am trying to lose the weight I gained while on Yasmin, however I am always hungry. I can eat a full dinner, not like huge pasta dish, but fish, vegetable and piece of breat and not be satisfied. I'll want something else. It's like this constant empty stomach feeling. Has anyone else experience this.
Thanks,
Hill
