I am 25 and I have endometriosis, and every side effect of yasmin that you all have is what i have been experiencing with endometriosis, the only difference is that i have a perfectly normal cycle, its either 28 - 30 days no more no less but still i'm not getting pregnant. I started taking Yasmin about a week ago and to date i have no symptoms. I think what happens is that we search online for information about these medication and what we read freaks us out and we start making our bodies believe that we have these symptoms, in-fact we are constantly looking out for these symptoms. when i read up on endometriosis i wanted to become pregnant so bad for the first time and i would make my self feel pregnant because i would go to these endo forums and read peoples symptoms who got pregnant with endo and i would find myself looking for those symptoms and then my body tricks me into thinking i have all the symptoms they describe on the endo sites and at the end of the 28 days my period arrives in full force as usual. but i schedule my self to take yasmin around my lunch time where i guarantee i will have a bite and i notice that with any pills if you do not eat while taking it, it can cause nausea, headaches. I know that it is very possible for people to get side effects from these medications, but i think we need to relax a little and take our minds off them and put our trust in God and let him take charge, pray everyday, and i don't mean pray for your problems, i mean give God thanks everyday for what he has done in your life and for waking you up because God already knows your problems, he just wants you to show acknowledgement for all he has done. This is the path that i am trying to take to overcome my endometriosis and just hope that one day he will look deep in my soul and help me and women just like me with menstrual issues, and help me and my husband to concieve our first child. the only side effect i am looking forward to while on Yasmin is falling pregnant at some point (you know how some people mistakingly fall pregnant on BCP's well i am looking forward to that) (smile)

Dear Yazuser,

Faith and trust in God is important, and I agree with counting your blessings and being thankful. I want to remind you that you have only been taking this drug for "a week", Many women, including myself have suffered extremely serious physical, emotional and mental side effects which have been nearly life threatening. With this medication, some women react within a few days, or months, or sometimes years. They have medical evidence, ie) blood tests, diagnosis from endocrinologists or gynecologists, psychiatrists that this drug affects your body in a very serious and sometimes life threatening way. You may not be one of them at this point in time, however, there are enough postings on this website (over 3000!) to make you realize, women are suffering. I caution you, be careful what drugs you put in your body - you only get one in this lifetime. If you begin to experience any negative side effects.... STOP right away! This medicine is poisonous.
