I recently started Yasmin about 9 days ago and I have not experience any real bad side effects. The first two days I felt a little emotional but I think it was because I had just started my period and decided to take the pill on Day 1 of my period. However, I am still spotting and wondering if this is normal. I am also experiencing some breast tenderness and stomach cramps. I usually have have breast tenderness and cramps two weeks before my actual period but I am thinking at this point it has nothing to do with my period but the actual pill. Can someone please let me know if this is normal?
