I just had a baby 5 months ago. In the beginning I was breast feeding and therefore on a pill called Errin. After a while I started spotting all the time. Since this was a pill without a week break I did not have my period. I changed to Yasmin because I have heard that there is less weight gain and I was tired of the constant spotting. I had also stopped the reast feeding. From day 1 I had terrible side effects. I felt pregnant again!!! All the symptoms from sore breast to morning sickness to cramps to running to the bathroom all the time. And the mood swings!!! I thought I was pregnant for sure! It jsut felt exactly like when I was pregnant not so long ago. I took 2 home pregnancy tests - both negative. I really don't think I am pregnant. I have been on a pill for many years before my baby, but I have never experienced anything like it. I stopped Ysmin yesterday even though I am not at the end of my pack. I won't accept and live with these side effects! What good is the pill when you constantly think you are pregnant? This is not peace of mind - this is torture! And I do not even want to think about what these side effects are doing to my body. I will be looking into another birth control method. Anybody has any experience with the patch?
