I have been taking this BC for two full months now and have started the third. I have lost so much blood the last two periods, but my doctor says I am not anemic. Yet I am white as a ghost and have heart palpitaions. My blood pressure has dropped to 101/40 and she has no explanation for why I am as white as a ghost. This has been going on for two weeks now. I am desperately thinking of stopping my pack. I also have muscle cramping in my legs, but the doctor seems to think it is low iron, but when she checked it, she says that my level is just fine. I contribute it all to this Yasmin crap!
Ask to have your blood pressure and potassium levels checked. You can even check the blood pressure youself at a store. The machines are supposed to be routinely calibrated, but they are relatively accurate.
This registry is a place to share positive or negative side effects of using Yasmin. If you directly experienced a side effect while using Yasmin, then we encourage you to enter it here. Please note that entries here are the experiences of individual users, and in no way means that you or anyone else will experience the same side effect, since the same medication affects people in different ways. Please always contact your physician.
