Wait a minute!!!!! Let me say that I have really been spooked by everyone testimonials regarding Yasmin. Although I AM sympathetic and very sorry to hear of all you r health problems, I think that before we all get into a panic over this, we need to take other things into serious consideration. We have no clue what one anothers lifestyle is. Their diet, weight, allergies, stress issues , medical issues, other medications, exercise, genes, and sometimes age. I myself have suffered from hair loss, digestive issues, constipation, eyesight changes, fibroid/fatty lump in my breast, migraines, moodiness & poor circulation. And that was BEFORE I went on the pill. Sorry to say….but I’ve learned that these issues all come with age. I’m 39. And at age 35 I started seeing all these changes in my body. I was on NO medication and in pretty good health and would see a doctor regularly just to make sure. Some of these symptoms that were experiencing just might be due to the fact that were getting OLDER!! I even became somewhat lactose intolerant literally overnight. And one lady said in here that there is lactose in the pills. So maybe some of you are more susceptible to it. And remember, the chemicals and hormones they’re putting in the pill…isn’t All Natural. They’re chemicals!!! Which can be hard on the body. (God did not design us for them). And a lot different from what I remember 20 years ago. When I used to take the pill you had to wait at LEAST a month before you can be safe from pregnancy. Now it’s only a WEEK! Hmmm…..that’s an obvious difference/change/warning….whatever you want to call it. Maybe the pill isn’t such a necessity for some of us. Maybe just a change in diet and vitamins might help us. For just pregnancy protection…maybe try another method like condoms, shots, diaphragm, etc….. I admit that I was having headaches ever since I started the pill 4 days ago. But then I realized that I only got them when I would sneek a cigarette 4 times a day. Shame on me!! That’s the ONE THING they tell you NOT to do. But now I know it’s not worth the pain and risk to my health. I didn’t smoke yet today and….no headache!! But I have not had any other side effects……YET. But when I do, I will look at other issues in my life that are going on….Diet, water intake, stress, genetics, normal woman changes, etc. I’m not saying that all your symptoms are nothing or not related toYasmin, but maybe look at the big picture before you overreact.

Nobody here really needs to hear your preachy repetoire about how the cause of symptoms could be "age related" or any of the of the other assumptions you present. These women on this site and others like it such as yasminesurvivors are quite capable of knowing if this is normal "age related" symptoms or something far worse, such as chemical drug toxicity that has not only made so many women sick but has damaged their health permanately, as in my case. And how do you brush away the fact that many, many of these women are only in their early twenties and come down with these horribly crippling health problems after taking this pill? Age related? I don't think so. Also, I would be willing to bet that most everyone knows that the pill, or any medication for that matter, is a lab created chemical, synthetic in process, and not "natural". And as for God, how can you even begin to claim to know what God did or did not do as to the design of the human being? Let's try and leave "GOD" out of this. I have noticed that when people want a blanket explaination to back their opinion, they ALWAYS throw in GOD. The fact is that most people put their faith in doctors and medical professionals as a whole and are being taken down a dark rabbit hole. The FDA is promising safety to the users of these medications that they approve, and people are trusting them and assuming they are safe when in fact they are anything but. The negative side effects listed for EVERY medication approved by the FDA always outweigh the postitives. I dare you to try and find one where this is not the case. You can't do it. It doesn't exist. I could go into this a whole lot more, but for the most part my message that I am trying to convey by responding to your post is this: Be careful what you say, tread lightly, as many you speak to have been devastated by this pills effects. Speak to others with the compassion that you would like shown to yourself, and NEVER NEVER suppose that you can even begin to know what other people are going through or what effects are or are not caused from these medications. It is offensive, to say the least, to be preached at by someone who thinks they have simple answers to such complex health changes. I truly hope that you do not end up having disasterous effects to your health as others have from taking this pill, but if and when you do, I really wonder just how easy it is going to be for you to look to "other" issues in your life when it reality it will feel like your life is going to end at any minute. That is how many women felt after taking this pill, and unfortunately for some that is exaclty what happened. Their life ended...game over. Keep that in mind, please, people are suffering from this. They need support from others here, not to be chastised about over- reacting or any inference that they have not taken ALL things into serious consideration. The people posting here are SICK after taking THIS medication, that's all the consideration needed.

Sweetie. Please dont go posting things like this as if you know what kind of problems all of these people are going through. I'll see you back here in 6-12 months when you have a PE or maybe a massive panic attack. Im sure your opinion will change.
