I'm in my early 30s. Prior to Yasmin, I had migraines 1-2 a year (each episode lasted a max of 5 hours). 5 months after Yasmin, my headaches occurred 1-2 A MONTH and lasted 1-3 DAYS!!! In addition, prior to Yasmin (while I was at my heaviest, not exercising, & not watching what I ate), my cholesterol was 181 & my triglycerides (?sp?) were 91. After about a year and a half on Yasmin (and exercising regularly, being 20 lbs lighter, & eater healthier), my cholesterol shot up to 256 & my triglycerides skyrocketed to 262!!! After reading info online, I decided there may be a connection to Yasmin & my cholesterol & migraines - there haven't been other changes in my life. So, this weekend, I decided to stop Yasmin cold turkey. I'll retest my cholesterol in 3 months & post the results. Has anyone else experienced a rise in cholesterol &/or triglycerides on Yasmin?
