I was on Yasmin for about 2 years. For the first year I could not have been happier. My period was regular and it was light. I would start 4 days after my last active pill and it would last about 2 days. Before this pill I only had a few periods a year. After about a year, I became extremely emotional for weeks at a time. I would start crying over anything and everything. I could be fine one minute and an emotional wreck the next. It would start on week two of my pac and last until my period was over. I had never been this emotional before taking the pills. I never had weight gain, had a few headaches (but had those before BC), never had acne, not really any breast tenderness, did/do have a small problem with my contacts (I dont think that is specifically Yasmin, but I hear this with most OBC), but I just can't handle the emotional rollercoaster every month. It was starting to affect my marriage. Yasmin was perfect in every other way, but I hate feeling like I will cry if someone looks at me wrong. My doctor switched me to Loestrin 24 and I have been on it now for a couple of days. I still have the emotional side effects of Yasmin but I kind of expect that until my body gets used to Loestrin 24. If this doesnt work I will try a different pill.
