I have been on Yasmin for exactly a year now; I switched to it from my last BC because I was having periods for 2 to 3 weeks at time. Yasmin has fixed my period regularity but since then I have had ABSOLUTELY NO SEX DRIVE. That is really really weird for me... so naturally I was freaking out and thinking that maybe something was wrong with me or with my relationship with my bf, until one of my friends told me that she started having the same problem when she started taking Yasmin. Now, after reading this site I feel even better about what's going on with me. I am afraid to switch pills again, though because I had so many problems before. I just want my normal sex drive back!! Also, has anyone else experienced chest pain?? I have sharp pains in the right side of my chest and in my right arm. It has only recently started and I thought, at first, that it might have something to do with my acid reflux but after reading everyone's comments it sounds like it might have something to do with Yasmin. I would appreciate any comments or advice!

I'd have the arm and chest pain checked out by a physician soon. Might be nothing but I never would have thought birth control would cause me to have a pulmonary embolism either. My trip to the ER was the smartest move I've ever made. Call your regular physician and at least ask if you should come in...
