I just want to warn everyone who is on or is considering taking Yasmin. 3 years ago, my gynecologist prescribed Yasmin to me, and within less than a month I developed a pulmonary embolism and almost died. At the time I was only 21. Very healthy, thin, but a smoker. They did several tests to rule out any clotting problems of my own, and after several months of tests it was undesputible the Yasmin that almost killed me! Ladies, BEWARE!!!
