I was on Yasmin for 3 years, at first I thought it was a perfect fit for me - I had shorter, less painful periods. Over the course of the next 2 years I had CHRONIC Urinary tract infections and yeast infections. I mean like 10 a YEAR. My gyno didn't know what was wrong (I'm meticulous about cranberry juice, cleaning, etc) and prescribed me a antibiotic. I had to take one pill after intercourse. Well, apparently 1 was enough to throw off the balance and I'd end up with a yeast infection. In addition to all that I TOTALLY lost my sex drive. I've been off the pill now for 4 months and I'm still waiting for it to return. I wouldn't reccomend this pill to anyone.

Also -- a major side effect was (and continues to be) heart palpitations. Very scary! Irregular heart beats and heart racing is not normal in a previously healthy 25 year old!!!

I had the same problems--but also, I had lethargy and pain in my arms and legs that just now went away after four months. I did get my sex drive back! And I don't feel chubby anymore.
