Hi, unfortunately last year I did develop a blood clot in my leg while on Yasmin. I am extremely lucky because we were out of town celebrating my son graduating high school and I thought I had torn a muscle in my leg and actually waited until I got back 4 days later to go to the emergency room. I spent a week in the hospital and no one could believe that it didn't break off. If I had any idea that this drug could double your risk of blood clots I would not have switched over to it. I was under the impression it was actually safer. Please do not take this pill. Because of the size of my clot my body was unable to dissolve it, I now have a permanent blockage from my knee to my bellybutton and am on a high dosage of blood thinners for the rest of my life. I hope this information helps anyone trying to make an informed decision.
