About a year ago I realized I was having an irregular cycle and I was diagnosed with having a fibroid on either my ovary or fallopian tube. My OB/GYN put me on Yasmin and said it would control my cycle better. I have had very regular cycles since being on it. However, I immediately noticed that I was hungry all the time and also developed HORRIBLE gas. I decided that gas was an acceptable side effect for my cycle to be regular (I'm sure my boyfriend has appreciated this!) Back in October, I got some sort of virus and was unable to eat for over a week. I lost about 10 pounds and haven't gained all of it back. For the past several weeks, I've been extremely nauseous several times after taking my pill in the morning. I skipped a pill for the first time since being on Yasmin and was in the bed nauseous for the rest of the day. I've also experienced pain in my left side around my ovary. I'm pretty sure the Yasmin is kicking my butt now that I'm a little thinner. I'm going to ask my doctor to take me off it.
