Hello! Its kind of creepy that i just now realized my problems and where they are coming from. A couple months ago I was having symptoms very similar to being pregnant.. went to pp and the dr. and I was not. I have been on Yasmin and the generic brands for 3 years now. and recently quit taking them for the 3rd time... About 2 weeks ago I started having " prego " symptoms again.. took a prego test and of course came up negative once again. Its been a little depressing as my partner and I have been wanting a baby. but now i'm starting to see where these symptoms are coming from.. My digestive system has gone haywire.. i get headaches.. my boobs hurt.. and i'm extremely emotional... my boyfriend has mentioned recently that my "outbursts" are frightening to him.. I didn't think it was that bad but now that I look back on it i've had these problems only during the time i've taken BC. WOW!!! as much as i enjoy the BC because it relieves me of my extremely long periods and severe cramps reading and feeling all of this makes me feel a little mad. I wish there were better ways of handling birth control and menstruation [lol] My doctor wont give me an IUD and my mother had severe side effects from the shot so i've been left with only the pill.. as the patch gave me really bad numbness after only 4 days..What are us women supposed to do!!! it seems like the doctors know what they're giving us but they do it anyway! women today should be able to be confident in their BC and know its not going to kill them. if anyone has some sort of "option" for me please don't hesitate to email me your thoughts and ideas... thank you! ******

I would suggest getting off synthetic hormones and trying a natural approach. After years of dealing with the same awful side-effects I did -- and I have never felt better.
Have a look at the Lady-Comp at NaturallyForHer_dot com. This is what I use and it works. It might seem expensive at first, but the reality is the LC pays for itself within a year. Compared to paying up to $85 per month (the cost of the NuvaRing) month after month over several years, the savings is enormous. Not to mention quality of life and health -- which is priceless.

Sorry, I have to ask.... Why are you even on the pill if you and your partner are trying for a baby? lol That's as silly as kids not using any contraceptive, then being surprised they end up pregnant. lol
