I was on Yasmin for about 4 years. Actually for the most part, I didn't really have many side effects; which I guess is good. I feel so badly for all that I have read here. BUT what started happening about 1 year ago was that I started getting an INSANE amount of yeast infections. I had only had one yeast infection prior to this, that was in college (9 years ago) and then all of a sudden I start getting multiple yeast infections. I swear it was like my GYN and me were having a relationship. I seriously had min of 12 in a year. In August I had two back to back. FINALLY I said to my GYN "could this be due to the pill?" He looked back at my chart and realized how many I had acutally gotten over the past year and decided to change my pill. I wish I had seen this website earlier... It would have saved me a lot of problems and a lot of money (on GYN appts and medicine). Please keep an eye out for this side effect. I never in a million years thought it could have been the pill. I mean, I tried everything, even threw away all my "nice" undies for white cotton... how yucky! Anyway, I haven't had a yeast infection in almost three months since being off it. The GYN switched me to Loestrin 24- although I don't have the yeast infections I have an TUN of other side effects from this one! Gained 7 pounds in 2 1/2 months... so don't take that either. Look for the other website on Loestrin 24! Good luck to you all.
