Hi. I have been taking Yasmin for a couple of years now. I previously took Ortho-Tri-Cycline for about 5 years. I am one of those people who always had heavy periods and severe cramps, though after the birth of my kids those things seemed to subside. My doctor suggested Yasmin because I had a lot of mid-month bleeding with the Ortho, and I had developed some adult acne. The Yasmin did seem to help (a little) with the skin issues, but I still bleed in the middle of the month--every month. I call it the 'second period.' I know that the pill has side affects but they are becoming unbearable. I am fat and bloated all the time, I loose hair and feel ugly and very tired. I also suffer from hormonal migraines which the pill is supposed to improve but I believe it may be making them worse. Lastly I have little desire to have sexual relations, which is NOT NORMAL. I plan to go off the pill and find a non-invasive form of BC, but my one concern is that I might break out like a 14 year old kid. I am 35--I cant handle that at this stage in life! I would be interested to know what happened to people once they stopped taking Yasmin. Thanks
