i am on my last pack of pills for yasmin. my gyn put me on loest...

Loestrin gave me terrible migranes, i also felt like i ws going crazy sometimes.I never felt like myself. The migranes were usually on either the left or right side of my head. Then i switched to Yaz and i felt even worse. Good Luck

hopefully it will at least be an improvement. i feel like no matter which bcp im on its going to make my migraines worse, i just hope not as bad as yasmin has...thanks!

Hey, I'm so sorry you're having such bad side effects with yasmin. I am having the exact opposite side effects. It really helped with my cramps and worked miracles on my PMS. My dads a doctor so i guess I had a lot of advice before hand. However I am getting more acne (which may or may not be because of yasmin). If I were you I would list all of the birth control pills I have been on so far, Look up what it contains...Like for example Yasmin contains ethinyl estradiol and dospropirone. Once you have listed the 2 main hormones in each of the pills you have taken, talk to your gynecologist about them and ask if you could take a new one that doesn't contain any of the other hormones you took before (some oral contraceptives have the same hormones but at different doses). I hope this helps.

thanks, ill try that and see what happens :)

As it turns out this morning when I went to open my birth control I noticed I had been taking Yasmin for a year without realizing the difference from YAZ. I have Endometriosis so I take the pill for four months straight without taking a break. I too have felt so gassy and bloated I thought I would explode. Work was becoming horrible, and if I ate the smallest amount I still felt bloated and gassy. I too put on weight because I always felt hungry even though I try to work out at least 5 days a week, three days of that are water aerobics which burn more calories. Well I started the YAZ pill today, so I guess I will just have to wait and see the results. YAZ sounds pretty horrible after reading a lot of this stuff though.
