I have been on Yasmin21 for 10 days. As soon as I started taking them I noticed that I was feeling different. Spotting came first and has not stopped for the 10 days I've been using them. A couple days ago I started noticing that my breats are severly tender to the point where just walking hurts them. I feel bloated and like I need to eat every couple of hours. Just yesterday I noticed my feet were looking kind of swollen and my leg has cramped up real bad which resulted in limping today. It also changed my mood from the usual happy to on the verge of tears. My sex drive is also gone and I was wondering if this happened to any other women. I decided to stop taking them until I can see a doctor in hope that he will prescribe me a different pill or another method of birth control. I will not be going back on this pill and I am still a little bit sketchy about going on any other birth control pill. All in all this pill made me feel terrible inside and out.

I am on my second package of yasmin21 and I wake up every morning with a headache at the base of my neck, and above my eyes. I have started to experience pain in my right breast, and my left leg. Neither lasts very long.
My low mood has been replaced with a much happier me. I will see my doctor in a couple of weeks, until then I will continue to take it. I do not take this for it's birth control qualities as I can no longer have any more children.
I am in peremenopause and am taking it to help releive moodiness, hot flashes, sleep disturbances etc. I have noticed that my sex drive as gone down. Perhaps my body still needs to adjust to this medication. I do not know,however I will find out.
I hope this info helps,brooke,466
