Hello ladies, I have been reading your postings and wondering why I hadn't read them before starting this pill. I have been off BC for years and recently started taking Yasmin. I began the pack on the first day of my period and all of the sudden, POOF ! It was gone! I had still had abdominal pains (similar to cramps, I guess). Exactly one week later, I began light spotting..and then...HEAVY flow, accompanied by lots of pain. I am on day 7 of this uncofortable and painful venture and wonder if this has happened to more women. I have never had this kind of pain or flow before (especially for this amount of time.) Is there any recommendations on another form of BC that has worked better for any of you?? Thanks for your time

I am 20 years old and I just started taking Yasmin 2 weeks ago, my first time ever being on the pill. The past 2 weeks have felt like 2 of the worst weeks of my life. I feel nauseous and have abdominal pains frequently, especially in the mornings. I am tired all the time. I find that I am extremely sensitive and have been feeling so depressed that sometimes all I want to do is lay in bed and escape from the rest of the world. I cry all the time for no reason, and can't help snapping at people. I feel anxious and stressed out and I felt like I was losing my mind until it clued in that this all started when I started taking Yasmin. I have a little over a week left in my pack, but after reading this website especially, and dealing with these side effects, I don't even want to finish this pack; but I am afraid that not finishing the pack could cause worse effects too? I am really unsure of what to do. I definitely am switching to a different kind of birth control next month but I don't know if I should keep using the Yasmin up until this pack is done and just hope that the side effects do not worsen, or cease use and hope for the best.
