I began taking Yasmin January 2007, and my previous mood swings greatly improved. However, I have now been on Yasmin for over a year and have recently been experiencing some side effects. For instance, I suddenly have no desire to have sex, and when I do, I experience pain on the left side of my ovaries. I have also been experiencing increased dryness, and loss of appetite/ nausea. Is it possible to develop symptoms after being on Yasmin for an extended period of time, or are the symptoms prominent at the beginning? I had no complaints about this birth control up to this point. Now, I have reason to believe that my pill may be the culprit of my changes. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, please contact me.

I have been on Yasmin for 4 years and am just now beginning to experience these same symptoms. So it is completely possible for it to take that long to kick in.

I am with you. I have been on Yasmin for 3 years and have had similar side effects. There is no sex drive, and when I do I get the pain in the right ovary. I too feel nausea and loss of appetite but am still gainging weight no matter how hard I have been working out. I had symptoms early on but thought it was something else. Now 3 years later it is still getting worse. So you are not alone. After coming on this site I took myself off Yasmin and since then have been VERY sick.
