In 2006 at the age of 38 after 4 years on Yasmin I had a mini-stroke. I am writing a non-fiction memoir about my experience and am very interested in hearing from anyone who has had a bad experience with Yasmin (or indeed, any other hormonal contraceptive.) I invite you to have your story included in my book. I am particularly interested in incidences of blood clot and of course, stroke, plus any withdrawal symptoms experienced from the drug. Please email me at ****** including your full name, age, location, a brief gynecological history, and the main facts of your experience. Thanks!!

In case youre interested... Im a massive stroke and plmonary embolism survivor...after taking Yasmin for 7-8yrs, I ad a stroke in July 2007... still in rehabilitaton. im 30yrs old, living in Indiana , though I was living in Sacramento, CA at the time of my stoke. no risk factors other than this pill, healthy woman. I believe the pill created the clot in my left lung which traveled to my brain... affecting my brains right side, resulting in paralysis of my left side... i have such a long road to recovery ahead of me.
