I have been on yasmin for about 14 months. the first 6-9 months were great. Now i have terrible pains "inside" it feels like a knife stabbing with no rhyme or reasin for when they occur. OB says its adhesions..which I have had before...but not like this. Last month I bled 1 week after my period and bleed for 2 weeks. Went to the OB she said its just a side effect. Well I am tired, sore breasts, stomach pains, no sex drive. My husband is so upset he thinks its him. We argued terribly. Well I went back to OB yesterday becuase I was still bleeding. She did an exam, and an ultrasound. No looks for cancer, no endometriosis. She said that the birth control cause cells that are normally in the uterus to grow outside on my cervix and they were bleeding. She recommended that I come off BC and see if the bleeding stops. If it doesnt then I have to go back in Jan for her to cauterize my cervix ( essentially burning off those cells) which I am not too keen on. Please let me know if you hav these side effect. I can give u my home email address

I have been on Yasmin about 12mos. now and I have had "spotting" in between periods, and yesterday I went back to my GYN for my yearly visit and I told him I was still spotting. He decided to chemically cauterize the cells on my cervix and told me that if that didn't help, he would have to cauterize it with the cauterizing tool next time. I immediately started cramping after the chemical treatment and have been ever since and this morning I started bleeding (more than the usual spotting),so I called my dr. office and they told me to come back in to have him redo it.But I was so afraid, that I couldn't make myself go. Please let me know if anyone has had this done, and if this is common??
