Yasmin and abt

Hi All, i had taken yasmin for only 1 1/2 cycles before i noticed that i had severe dry & sore throat. Now after being off yasmin for abt 5 months, i still have really bad back ache and my legs hurt a lot too. this is usually a week or two before my period is due( not too sure because sometimes my periods come arnd 40 days or so, this is after yasmin, before this i really had regular periods)
anyone has any suggestions on how to relax my legs.. they get worse at night, i cannot find any position relaxing because of the back ache and the aching legs!!!

Hi,

I was on Yasmin for abt 19 months. I decided to stop the pill somewhere end of March after reading all the bad side effects. My last pill was somewhere end of March, i got my period as scheduled after i finish the last pack,

However for my next period which was suppose to be on the 21st of April, it came late on the 26th of April instead and it was not a normal flow of period. So i thought yeahhh at least my period still comes but..................

Heres the thing, I didnt get my period on the 26th of May, i took a pregnancy test somehwere on the 30th of May, it came back negative.

Its now the 22nd of June and I have yet to get my period. I am really worried that my period will never come again. For those who has gone through this post yasmin hell, is this a normal thing and how long did it take ure body to adjust to having normal periods again?

Do u guys thing that this is something to worry abt and i should have it checked out? I am freaking out abt not having my period, cause my body feels yucky, likei hav cramps now and then on my lower abdomen and my nipples are sore, (but strangely enough not my breast) cause usually before i get my period, my breast are the one that are sore!

Please help! I am going out of my mind with worry!

hi justme. thanks for ur reply. i too have the same thing. sometimes i hear a click when i gulp.

yes i did go to a GI specialist. had a upper GI series done too which was normal. so GI thought that the problem is not acid reflux. also i feel better if i take steam and use nasonex spray. still was prescribed prevacid for abt 20 days or so and then later was told to switch to pepcid 40 mg daily which i have been now taking for abt 3 months. after i stopped yasmin the sore throat got better but everytime period is due it comes back.
family doctor told me that the throat lining becomes swollen before periods due to estrogen and fluid retention. so have to cut down on salty foods before periods r due.

thanks for ur reply. helps to know that i am not the only one on this forum who keeps on asking about sore throat :)

hi all...

someone please reply!!!!!!

some lady had posted earlier about chronic sore throat when on yasmin.
i too had that. took yasmin for a month only
now its been abt 2 months since i have stopped.

past 1 month again i have a feeling that something is stuck in my throat.
no doctor is able to diagnose this.

this started when my period did not start on time.

anyone had simliar experience plzzzzzzzzz reply.

hi all..i had taken yasmin in jan this year (only for a month). then becoz of the side effects i stopped. first month after stopping was ok, the next month my periods came abt 2 weeks late and i started getting a feeling that something was stuck in my throat and throat felt dry. i used to feel the same when i was on yasmin. meanwhile when i was on yasmin my doc thought my throat irritation was related to acid reflux so she made me do a upper gi series which turned out to be normal. since the time my last period was late some of the side effects that i had on yasmin seem to be slowly coming back(not with the same intensity though)
anyone has any suggestions?
i also had severe eye twitches but that went off after i started taking multivitamin and minerals pill everyday.

Hi All,

I had taken yasmin for 1 month and now i am abt 3 weeks post yasmin. During the month my throat started getting more and more irritated, severely dry. Especially in the mornings throat was so dry that it used to hurt. I got a upper GI series done which was normal, to rule out acid reflux.
After 3 weeks now, my throat still hurts(although not as much as when i was on the pill) and my cheeks and whole face feels strained and painful. Did anyone else have this problem? Do you think i should maybe get my thyroid checked, becoz i have a hyperthyroid anyways and my weight is also such that i cant afford to lose anymore weight.
Thank you all for posting ur side effects, becoz of u all i havent gone thru a lot of bad things becoz of yasmin.
