WOW!! i'm surprised to hear so many bad things about yasmin. i've just started my 6th month with it and feel pretty good. fortunately, i don't share many of the side effects that many of you have posted here (knock on wood). the only ones i can say i have, which are not that strong, are dryness and itchiness with my vagina, a loss in sex drive, and moodiness. the discomfort with my vagina is much less now than when i first started, and because i'm consciously aware of my moodiness and loss in sex drive, i can act consciously about it. hMm.. does that make sense? before i went on the pill (this is the 2nd one that i have tried; i only stayed with the last one for 2 months), my periods were super heavy and lasted a week. my last period was the shortest ever, at just 4 days and was totally manageable. i deplore the idea of having to take pills on a pretty daily basis, but the patch isn't an option where i live and in my lifestyle of always being in the water. all i can say is, so far, so good.
