I'm so glad I googled side effects of Yasmin and found this site. All of the sudden my mood swings for the past almost YEAR make sense. I started out fine. The pill was great, and I haven't had to worry about acne at all. Of course I gained a few pounds, but not too much. However, I'm a pre medical student trying to study for the MCAT this summer. I've been SO tired and drained and majorly depressed that I just can't seem to concentrate. I feel like I'm always crying over the stupidest stuff (AKA: no reason at ALL), and my grades are starting to suffer. Hopefully now that I've read this, I can stop taking this pill and see an improvement. It's just not worth the depression. I'm 22 right now, and until recently had never had a suicidal thought. I was starting to panic, because I couldn't identify the cause of my depression. I'm a good student, have lots of friends, and have the most amazing boyfriend and family. Life is good, I shouldn't feel this bad. Now that I have a clue as to what this may be, I can fix it.

I thought that been on the ring would be more covenient than taking Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. And it is but, the headaches are too much for me. I only was on Nuvaring for 3 weeks and discontinue its use. I started feeling the side effects about 2 weeks after inserting it. I would be so hungry and my head would kill me. I thought maybe it was me, because I normally get headaches when I wait to long to eat. But these headaches were horrible. After I would eat I would still have a headaches, so I knew it had to be the ring. I also experienced excessive wetness and irritation. My ring would always come out. I tried to push it back in, but later in the day it would push its way back down. I waited until the third week to take it out and call my gyn to get back on the pill. The pill is inconevient since you have take it everyday, but I don't suffer from any side effects. Before using the ring recently, I was on the pill for 2 yrs with no problem. Everyones' body is different so use whatever works for you. But don't put yourself through unnecessary pain. If you are feeling awful discontinue it and try something else. There are like 15-20 different types of birth control. And please don't just not use anything unless you are planning to have a child. Good Luck to all!
