I have just gotten out of the hospital on a 5 day stay due to my 2 month use of Yasmin. I have been diagnosed with multiple pulmonary embolisms. I am 35 and taking blood thinners for six months to a year. I was very ill and am lucky to have survived this episode. My doctor failed to inform me of the recent studies done on Yasmin and their findings. It seems that Yasmin has a bad track record for causing this type of illness. I am doing okay now, but what a frightening experince!
