Hi all...WOW, hard to believe that so many of us are experiencing...

Wow! It is a relief to hear that other women are experiencing the same symptoms that I've been. I too have experienced sharp shooting pains under my left rib, especially if I try to hold in my stomach (because of the extreme bloating). Needless to say, I am not going to start my 2nd pack of pills tomorrow.

Yup, it sounds like this is a common denominator in taking Yasmin. At least it makes me feel a bit better knowing that these are common side effects. I must say that for the past week or so...I've had NO pains so maybe it just takes the body time to get used to Yasmin? Believe me, I'm knocking on wood. I am now on my 3rd day of taking the placebo pill. Shouldn't I be starting my cycle soon???? I kinda thought that after I took the last pill that it would only take a day for my cylce to start....hmmm. Then again, it's been years since I was on the pill so what do I know? LOL. Maybe try persevering through one more pack to see if your body gets used to them. Sounds to me like many of us have been going through the same or similar symptoms and maybe if we give it a chance, our bodies will work through all the glitches.....sigh. I hope you are feeling better soon! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I don't ever again get those shooting pains back! NOT FUN...
