Here's one I haven't seen yet: increase in yeast infections. Has anyone else noticed this? I haven't had a yeast infection in years - probably since I was last on the pill (before I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now 6). I don't remember which pill I was on then. But it's been years since I"ve had a YI. I've been on Yasmin for 6 months now - to try to stop mid cycle bleeding (it has worked) and I'm on my 2nd YI. The first I thought was a fluke. Now I'm thinkign it's the pill. Also, I"m prone to cold sores adn I've definitely seen an increase in them in teh last 6 months. Again, I didn't see a coincedence, but now I'm wondering... I'm going off the pill when I finish this pack. My doctor only put me on it for 6 months to see if it stops the mid cycle bleeding. It did, and I don't want to be on it any more (I don't like the moodiness, cramping, and decreased sexual drive). I have infertility issues so getting pregnant isn't an issue for me. I'm hoping that my moodiness will go away when I finish this pack.
