I have been taking YASMIN for about 9 months, i have had weird stomach pains and intestinal problems as well. the first few months were fine, but then i began to get my period a week early and it would last for two weeks. i was put on the pill to correct my irregular menstrual cycle, but it only made it worse. I also experience awful mood swings. i am usually a very easy going person, but i soon found myself freaking out over nothing and crying at the drop of a hat. I will pick fights with my bf for no reason at all. Im going to my gyno next month and am getting the hell off this pill!!!!!!!!!! I advise everyone else to do the same! GOOD LUCK
