You girls have no idea how thankful I am that I found this site. Short history - I'm 33 with four children and was diagnosed with a dermoid cyst on my right ovary and a fluid filled cyst on my left 04 November 2004. My gyn put me on Yasmin because she said that my symptoms were typical of high estrogen levels and that by boosting my progestin the cysts would dissolve. She said that without a blood draw so I insisted on one and she ordered it but also told me to start the Yasmin anyway. I wouldn't be taking the white pills, however, she wanted me to continue the next pack to keep the progestin level high. I started that assuming I was doing the right thing. Three weeks later I heard nothing about my blood draw so I called. My estrogen level was fine which meant I had no idea what caused my cysts or what would make them go away. SO, I called the doctor who said I'd have to make a consultation appointment and that ended up being 30 Jan. 2006. Yes, I have to wait three more weeks to see her. I'm NOT happy, but I am also very sick. For four years I've been HEAVILY involved in kickboxing and weight lifting and now I can barely get out of bed. I've been throwing up like I'm pregnant, nauseous like I'm pregnant, getting migraines like I have a tumor, and appetite? HA! I can't stand the sight or smell of food. Girls, you talk about an eater ~ I can get down! Sadly, I haven't worked out since October because of the cysts making it painful so I decided to hit the gym last night and I even went light on my weights. Nope. Left early...had to puke. In addition to having PTSD and OCD, I now have depression because I'm so SICK all the time. Someone, please tell me that this will go away or that I'm doing the right (or even wrong) thing. I read that someone's back looked like a warzone. OMG, my FACE does. I'm VERY picky about my face and hair ~ my hair has fallen out in bird nest clumps and my face is a map of the US. It's SO depressing. WHY? I'm 33 and I've NEVER had a health problem and now with two STUPID little cysts, my world has crumbled. So, is this Yasmin side effects? The vomiting, migraines, my eyes not being able to move without losing equilibrium, my face becoming a connect the dots trick, food becoming the enemy...it really feels like I'm pregnant but TRUST that I've not had sex. It's too painful from the cysts. HHEELLPP... Love in advance - KiDS

I am going through something similar except im 22 and i was dx with hypothyroidism and now they suspect i either have a pituitary tumor of polycystic ovarian syndrome. great options, right? i have all the same symp. as you. Ive always had migraines, usually 2-3 days before my period starts. This month, ive had 3 7day periods, symptoms with every single one. I have to go for an MRI and have my hormone levels checked. Have your dr. check your pituitary if he/she hasn't yet, the vision problem is a key symptom of pituitary tumor, and the headache. I am trying to be strong but i am scared and i just want answers. Good luck to you.

In the past 8 months I was diagnosed hypothyroid and an MRI found a pituitary tumor. It's not that scary, the tumor is benign but I do get headaches and vision problems sometimes. I was prescribed Yasmin for ovarian cysts but quit after a month because I kept getting up during my sleep to urinate. (I took Yasmin at bedtime because I took my thyroid med in the morning.) I'm now on Ortho Tricyclen Lo but it's not strong enough to help my ovarian pain. I might try Yasmin again next month and stick it out for a few months to see if it helps.
