I have only been on Yasmin for 3 weeks.
In the first week,every morning I had an upset stomach,and was often gagging and about to throw up.Then I started to get IBS,every single morning,which became very frustrating,and painful. I knew my first time the me and my bf had sex,that there was something wrong,something very wrong. It was absolutely excruciating,I had to tell him to stop it hurt so bad.I used to have a sex drive over and above what a males is,and it has just plummeted.Its so frustrating cause I just want to make him happy,but at the same time,i don't have the umph to do it.Even wearing a tampon is extremely uncomfortable. When I read about people not having a sex drive for 3 years,I immediately decided to go off it,and find a different pill.I'm looking into tri-cyclen lo,and so far this pill looks good. I'm always tired now,and my breasts always seem to be tender.The pill hasn't cleared up my acne at all.Another reason for going off it is what I've heard about being on it for a long time and then going off it,the side effects can be just as bad.ill let you know how things go.

I'll be 40 this year and I've had Mirena for about 18 months. I don't always get a period or it is very light - which sometimes is light for days/weeks - rather annoying really would rather just have a period and get it over with. Anyway I was searching on side effects and found this site. I'm constantly very moody and depressed and lack the umph to do anything. I can't say that I have gained weight or anything but it's not coming off very easy with diet and exercise either. I often feel like I'm going crazy and I snap rather easy. I'm not sure if that's the stress of having 4 kids or if there is something that I should do - like have this removed. After reading some of these posts I'm not so sure having this is a great idea...Thanks for any insight.
