I was on Yasmin for a number of years and had chest pains. I also have 2 red "dots" on my hair line that formed about a year ago. I noticed my hair thinned out too. I never made the connection that it could be related to the Pill. I also had frequent headaches, but would just take some Aleve and be on my way. Anyways, I went off in February, and it is now June, and I still have no period. I've seen the gyno, tried to take Provera, and nothing is working to help me get my period. I ended up getting some bloodwork done. My estrogen levels are extremely low (like someone that is in menopause). I AM ONLY 25!!!! I am guessing it is related to coming off Yasmin somehow. Please contact me if you have similar things, as I am now getting all the symptoms of menopause (severe hair loss, night sweats, hot flashes, uncontrollable moods).

I have been having those uncontrollable moods.
and my hair is also thinning.
I started Yasmin in about april of 07..and come around april 08 i had to get off of it..it just wasn't really worth it.
When I came off of it..I started getting horrible night sweats..and then not sleeping at all...if i did it was 30 minutes or so..and then my moods just went crazy! in one conversation i would laugh, cry and scream all in the same conversation.
The first two periods i had right after coming off were fine, but not..i'm not getting it at all...and it's like i;ll cramp and feel like i'm going to start but then i don't.
I have called my gyno and she said that there is nothing i can really do about it now but wait it out and just see what happens in a few months....and then maybe try something different. but i don't know...
