I have been off Yasmin since November 04 so thats 8 months. I've also been trying to get pregnant during that time and have not been able to. I'll let you know I am a healthy 23 year old who doesn't smoke or take any prescription drugs (so I know thats not the reason). The first two cycles after quitting the pill were terribly heavy and really bad cramps. It has started to get better and more like my cycles before being on the pill. The first four months off the pill I was doing the Ovulation pee sticks to see when I was ovulating and during that time they never showed my HcG levels rising until the 5th cycle of being off it. On the fifth month being off of it I felt like I was going crazy! My hormones must have been shifting. I got acne on my face and back (I've never had acne my whole life accept a pimple like once a month), I was having emotional break downs at work, I was terrible to my husband (everything he did was wrong), I was very up tight all the time. Lets just say it threw me way off course. I am still a little wacko in the hormone department and am still trying to get pregnant. Its been 8 months though. That's a long time for your body to have to adjust.

Hi, I recently went back on to YASMIN because I thought it would clear my face. However, it did the EXACT OPPOSITE. My face is a train wreck. My mood swings are horrible. I just got married, and all of the sudden, I can't stand my husband and want a divorce, and I have absolutely no reason why. I can't stand anything. Im so tired, hungry, depressed, my breasts are killing me, I just hate it! I am going to start taking the other birth control pill that I was taking. After reading a lot of these blogs, I am glad to know that I am not insane. I certainly feel like a wacko, and now I know why. I have never felt depressed or even anxious. My anxiety levels are through the roof! I am done with Yasmin.
