I was on Yasmin for 4 months. I HATED IT!!! What is the point of being on birth contraol if you never are able to have sex? I was constantly bleeding after the 1st month. It was as if I had my period for 3 striaght months - every single day. And not just spotting, heavy flow. I was depressed, miserable and in so much pain. I had constant cramps and back pain. I went to the ER 2 times because of this and I was told the 1st time that it was just my body's way of getting used to a different pill. After I was on it for 3 months, I went to the ER a second time because I was in so much pain and bleeding so heavily, that I could not get out of bed. I actually had to wear Depends, pads were not nearly enough! The dr at the ER the 2nd time told me that he has had a ton of cases with girls on Yasmin with the same problem and to stop taking it immediatly. About 3 or 4 days after I stopped taking it, everything was back to normal - Thank God! I was extremely hesitant to try another pill after that, but I decided to give Ortho Tri Cyclin Lo a chance and I love it. No random bleeding, no cramps and my periods are always light. Yasmin should be taken off of the market. I have a bunch of friends who tried it and went through the same problems I did.

You know, every person has a different chemistry and reactes differently to different kinds of the pill. Just because it doesn't work on you doesn't mean it should be banned! People that are ignorant and don't have a clue and would be stupid enough to make comment like yours. I have been on Yasmin for a couple years and it is the only thing that works and I'm very satisfied with it. Not to say it would be like that for everybody but on me it does and I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that have had simliar experiences like mine.

I have been on Yasmin for quite some time and I works beautifully on me. My periods are light with minimal cramping, no irratibility or bloating. I would reccommend this product, however, it may not be right for everyone.

I was in for a well woman exam on Oct 10th and had been taking the pill for just over a week, I was fine. Then yesterday I went in because I had a horrible infection, they found lumps which they think could or could not be HPV, well I haven't been with anyone but my fiancee and I know he's not cheating on me! This has to be related to the pill, I'm going to get a second opinion form a real ob/gyn, not a clinic with a nurse practioner!!! This pill has made me bleed continiously, and severe mood swings, bad pimples, its not right! Plus they just gave me two packs for free! They have to give its away its so bad!!!
