Hey everyone i have been taking yasmin for almost a year now and during the first month i bled almost everyday. When i went back to my gyno she said this was normal because my body was getting used to the hormones and that it would level out over the first two months. When she told me this it really didnt worry me too much bc i had an irregular period anyways. After the first month everything was fine until my third period when i experienced horrible cramps, mood swings, depression, and breast tenderness, and i dropped about 5 pounds. Yasmin is the only birth control i have ever taken so i'm not sure if i should switch bc i can deal w/ the cramps and breast tenderness but i'm not sure about the depression. I am only 18 and recently i have noticed a couple more side effects like reduced libido and dizziness...i wonder if another type of BC would be better?
