I had been taking it for about 7 years. I liked it better than ortho or ortho-lo (which sent me spinning into severe depressions).

I never really had PMS symptoms before starting on Yasmin, & even while I took it, I had no problems. I stopped taking it 10 months ago because I got married & we're trying to conceive.

I forgot to mention in my previous post that I also had PCOS, which is why I needed to start taking it to regulate my period. Yasmin did help with that, & since I stopped taking it, I havent' had any cysts in any of my last check-ups, and my period http://www.medications.com/effect/view/9620?item=9260 Mon, 04 Aug 2008 11:46:48 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/9620?item=10730 Hi. This is my second month off Yasmin and its HORRIBLE!!!!!!! I got my period about 2 days late (the first month, it was a week late) and now this period is so painful, i can't sleep at nights.

So i thought stopping yasmin would make me feel better. But, after http://www.medications.com/effect/view/9620?item=10870 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 23:30:06 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/9620?item=11060 I was on Yasmin for only 5 months, but decided a few weeks ago to discontinue use. My main reason for discontinuing its use was that it absolutely KILLED my sex drive. I am a newlywed and this just isn't fair to me or my new husband.

It seemed to work. I lost a lot of weight while on the pill and it did wonders for my sex drive. My tubes are tied so I didn't need it for protection. http://www.medications.com/effect/view/9620?item=11375 Sat, 23 Aug 2008 00:14:40 -0400 http://www.medications.com/effect/view/9620?item=11487 I was on yasmin for 1.5y to regulate my hormones and for the most part loved it.
