Here's one I haven't seen yet: increase in yeast infections. Has anyone else noticed this? I haven't had a yeast infection in years - probably since I was last on the pill (before I was pregnant with my daughter, who is now 6). I don't remember which pill I was on then. But it's been years since I"ve had a YI. I've been on Yasmin for 6 months now - to try to stop mid cycle bleeding (it has worked) and I'm on my 2nd YI. The first I thought was a fluke. Now I'm thinkign it's the pill.
Also, I"m prone to cold sores adn I've definitely seen an increase in them in teh last 6 months. Again, I didn't see a coincedence, but now I'm wondering...
I'm going off the pill when I finish this pack. My doctor only put me on it for 6 months to see if it stops the mid cycle bleeding. It did, and I don't want to be on it any more (I don't like the moodiness, cramping, and decreased sexual drive). I have infertility issues so getting pregnant isn't an issue for me. I'm hoping that my moodiness will go away when I finish this pack.

Hello everyone!
I have only been using yasmin for two months (i've just started my 3rd strip). I had been using dianette previously for treatment of polycystic ovaries. i had been using dianette for three years since i was 18 years old and had no problems with it whatsoever. (i decided to change because my boyfriend thought it was making me grumpy, but after a short spell of not using any oral contraceptive, and now being on yasmin for two months, we have both come to the conclusion that i'm going to be grumpy forever!!lol!) Anyway, since starting on yasmin, i have had severe "period cramp" in the first week of taking a new strip and have several SEVERE bouts of diahorrea during my cycle. has anyone else noticed these side effects? these are the only side effects i have experienced (so far).
thanks everyone!
Chloe
