WOW. Thank goodness I found this site. I was put on Yasmin one month ago after I was experiencing breakthrough bleeding with Ortho Novum. Almost immediately I felt UTI-like symptoms. Constantly having to go to the bathroom. Because I used to have them regularly, I went back into my gyno to get tested, and hopefully some antibiotics. My test was negative. She sent me home. I came back a week later as the symptoms had stayed...I just could not stop going! But I had no burning or pain, just major frequency. She tested my discharge and said it had some yeats in it. I have only once ever had a yeast infection (from antibiotics). She said the yeast may have travelled up and infected my bladder. She also said my urine was very alkaline, and asked if I was on atkins, which I am not. She gave me FOUR doses of diflucan, detrol LA for overactive bladder, a peeing schedule to follow, and a sleeping pill to help me through the night. I told her I was wondering if it was the yasmin, and she did not say anything to confirm this. For the first 2 weeks of her medications, I did not feel better at all. Now I am off the active yasmin pills and am starting to feel better! I TRULY think that all of that was because of Yasmin. I was healthy before I started taking it. Also had: brown discharge the 3rd week when it was time for my period, NOTHING, except when having sex NO sex drive Hard time getting aroused for sex Major dizziness Pain in wrists If anyone has had an experience similar to mine, regarding the urinary frequency, please email or post!! I think I am going off BCP's for good...so tired of trying and failing with these...
