I had been on Yasmin for about seven years. I decided to get on ...

I would think that since you can get pregnant after missing 3 pills in a row that the whole lofe of the drug in your system is around 24 hours. This medicine should be out of your system. The things you are going thru now sound like they are due to LACK of the hormones in your system, seeing as how it all stopped 7 years ago when you went on the pill

i am not sure how long it lasts because i seem to be having the same problem. i came off it in november last year to try and get preggers again and my hormones have been so out of wack since then. i have had one miscarriage in january which i attribute to my hormones and my body trying to get yasmin out of its system (the doctor had no explanation - "these things just happen" ) and am now worried because i am pregnant again and the same thing seems to be happening - have started to bleed a little around about the same time it happened the first time. i know bleeding can be normal (i bled with my first child for a little) but i truly think i am having trouble getting past 6 weeks cause of my hormone imbalance. i have broken out like a teenager on my face and back i have no get up and go and feel generally out of sorts and tired. have spoken to doc about how long it takes to get 'over' yasmin and she said it can take a while and it is normal! huh i dont think so! am going to pressure doc if i loose this one to do any hormone tests to see if and what is out of wack. i would suggest you go to your doc and just raise your concerns and see what they come up with. please let me know if they have a good explanation!
