Ur system symptoms and conditions

I barely got off the pill Microgestin, because of the weight gain and water retention, to have Mirena inserted the beginning of July. It has been nrealy 3 months, and I am still experiencing back pain, water retention, and my chin breaks out with acne every once in a while. I also have been experiencing moderate cramping and a constant slight feeling of being bloated. I was told when this was put in that weight gain was not one of the side effects, weight gain being the main reason for getting off the pill. I have not lost the weight, and it could be a combo of the pill slowly dissipating, or the Mirena does cause weight gain. Anyone else have the weight gain or slight increase in tendency towards water retention??

whoever that doctor is that told you it only takes 1 month to get yasmin out of your system clearly has no idea!!!
i know that yasmin is still in my system because when i started it my period was a very bright red (sounds disgusting but true) and it still is at the moment. my periods before yasmin were never like that and thats how i can tell its still in my system....
so dont worry about that doctor and dont feel that the weight gain is all ur fault because it isnt !! oohhh that makes me so angry!!
with the racing heart question yes i definitly experienced it the same. i sometimes still get it now when im ovulating or the week of my period... its not as bad as it was but its still there for sure!
try not to feel so down i know its hard but just remember all these women have experienced the same thing so that doctor isnt really making sense...
i also read on another website that it can take 6 mnths to a year for bc hormones to leave ur system....
i promise you that it is all normal and your gonna get better 100%
stay postive if you can...
lots of love.. chrissy xox

hey lisa,

its chrissy again... i just read your posting about the high blood pressure and cholesterole.
my blood pressure did go up but my best friend is on yasmin at the moment and i have tried to tell her that this pill is bad but she thinks im crazy... she hasnt had any bad side effects but im worried for her that she will..
she saw a doctor recently and he checked her cholesterole and it was on 7!!! it should be around 4 im told....
i know its from yasmin because she eats well... i just wish i could make her realise...

dont stress too much im sure it will go down once this poison is out of ur system...
love chrissy xox

joanne!!!
u do not have a brain tumour!! believe me i know what your feeling.... i was only on yasmin for a month and the anxiety started about 6 weeks after i stopped taking it. i went to hospital twice thinking i was having a heart atack but everything was fine. all you have to do is train yourself and your mind not to get nervous when u feel the anxiety coming on... at the start it is hard ur right but you will get better at it and eventually you will forget it altogether.
it will go away i promise you.... ive been off yasmin for almost 3 months now and it has improved alot. now that i know wat it is i can control it. just remember to breathe in deep when u feel it and try to keep your mind occupied so ur not always thinking about it....
i havnt taken any medication either and i feel better each day.... trust me its going to be alright you just need to give yourself time and keep telling urself its only yasmin thats doing it ....
it will be out of ur system eventually and life will go back to normal i promise...
take care and good luck xoxoxo

all the people closely examining their symptoms and trying to figure the cause just check if they have used any setroid sprays for their nose(allergic rhintis)/cause an inhaled spray causes much greater side effects than a inhaled advair puff.its ironical that docs say advair doesnt enter ur system but what wud they say when they prescribe steroid sprays for nasal allergies?ok i am happy that i did find a way out of steroids and steroid side effects.i am using homeopath and its been 8 months now/i am not reacting to dust at all/the remed for dust allergy is bromine 1M in homeopahty/to the disbeleivers just tr the remedy/of course one shud alwas be under expert guidance/but there r no side effects here.
