I was prescribed Yasmin to help with ovarian cyst in September of this year. Well everything started off ok, but after a few weeks things started going down hill. Boobs hurt something awful, skin cleared up some but still got cystic pimples that hurt. Well yesterday, I finally had to stop taking them because I suddenly developed numbness in my left thumb and pointer finger. I don't recommend this pill in any way shape or form.

Hi danniekay:

I just wanted to mention that I had the same numbness. Mine also went into the side of my face and my leg. This pill causes some strange symptoms.

If you're interested, there is a site called the "Yasmin Survivors Forum" (if you type it into your search engine it will come up in the results list). There are many women there (including myself) that have experienced terrible side effects from Yasmin that can offer support and advice.

Hope to see you there. Best of luck and improved health,
Meagan
