Got married about a couple years ago and went on Yasmin. First BC and as I've never had any BC did not know what to expect. I felt fine but now reading all these makes me realize that the weight gain, NO SEX DRIVE, NO VAGINAL MUCUS (have to use tons of lubrication), re-occurring thrush could be attributed to Yasmin. I stopped Yasmin last year December as now ready for a baby, its been six months and still haven't conceived, still dry and use lubrication....and also have milky discharge from breast but not pregnant. Had an MRI scan and showed pituitary anenoma (not sure of the spelling) basically a small tumor of the pituitary glad that secretes too much prolactin in system caused by imbalance of hormones. I'm only praying to God for healing and hoping that my body would go back to normal rather than start other medical treatment. My advise.............. come off Yasmin, DO NOT TAKE ANY BC

I have a prolactinoma too. But it's not uncommon, I'm told, and probably doesn't have anything to do with the Yasmin. The high prolactin level may very well be why you haven't gotten pregnant; I was told by my endocrinologist that I would likely have to treat the high prolactin level (with Bromocriptine) in order to get pregnant. See your doctor. It's not a big deal if the tumor is small, though you may have to take the Bromocriptine to bring down the prolactin level in order to conceive. Best of luck!
