I didn't know that taking a simple BC pill could cause all of these problems and symptoms. I recently started taking Yasmin again after being off of it for a year, and now I am just realizing the changes it makes in my personality and lifestyle. Why didn't my doctor catch this when I was having problems with anxiety and depression a year ago? Instead she just gave me another pill to take (lexapro), which was obviously only to counteract the side effects from the Yasmin.
Now that I am taking it again for the last month, I am starting to get pissy and moody over small things that haven't bothered me for the last year. My libido is completely gone which is causing my boyfriend to think that he is doing something wrong....and I hardly have the motivation to do anything anymore other than lay around. Also my boobs are in such pain that I have begun walking around holding both of them in my hands to protect them from getting bumped!!! How could one little pill cause all of these crazy problems????
One side effect I have not read about though...Has anyone ever noticed any type of musky/fishy odor that only comes right after intercourse? I have gone to the doctor about this and she can't come up with anything that is causing this. I have been tested for all STD's, and given a UA to rule out bladder infections, and she also did a culture to see if I have a yeast infection....all of these came back negative....the problem only started in the last month when I started the Yasmin again!!!
Do you think this pill could be the stinky cause?? I would appreciate anyone's comments being that my doctor can't seem to find the problem and refuses to admit that Yasmin could be what is causing over half of the symptoms I have had!!!!
