I have been taking this for 3 days and I am a little worried. My legs feel kind of tingly and sore (started about an hour after i took the 1st pill). I am not swollen or anything...this is pretty much my only side effect, but I can't get a hold of my obgyn to ask her about it, since I have to wait 2 months to get an appointment with her...I dunno. The leg cramps can't be a blood clot this soon? This site is really worrying me now.
It is not a shooting pain like they say in the pamphlet Warning Signs, just kind of a dull pain. I had a lot of leg cramps as a child and this feels just like it, but more mild.

I quit Yasmin two weeks ago before using it for 6months.
I used to be struck with a very funny sensation especially while I was driving. It was close to dizziness. Although my vision felt fine, but it felt like that I could not hear a thing suddenly, which feels similar to being in under water or being in sound-prrof room alone. It was a totally disoriented feeling that shouldn't happen while someone is driving. I got really scared because of that. I belive that it lasted only several seconds since I noticed my car drove less than 10 meters in 20 km school zone.
Apart from that, I didn't have any side effect before quitting. Now, I have a huge symtoms; the dull pain in low abdomen, a headache, water retention(gain 10lb for 2weeks).
I am especially concerned about the pain in low abdomen. I will eventually go see my GP, but I wanted to check on this site for more info.

Hello, everyone. I am new to Yasmin and have only been taking it for 2 weeks. I am coming off of a 4 year break from BCP's and decided to try Yasmin on my OB's recommendation due to excessive moodiness/irritability with other BCP's that I've tried. In the past, I didn't have any other side effects from any of the other pills that I've tried (such as spotting, break through bleeding, bloating, etc.) In the 2 short weeks that I've been taking Yasmin I have had enough weird side effects to prompt me to go online and do some research, which led me to this site. I have had (sorry for the TMI) brown discharge for 12 straight days and today I have blood spotting. I also noticed that I have been extremely fatigued for the last week. Tonight I feel a dull pain in my left side and am bloated and feel "full", as if I've eaten a huge amount of food. I'm not even going to finish this pack. Thank you to everyone for your experiences.

I stopped taking the pill today and thank god!!! I am 26 years old and have had the worst highs and lows I have ever experienced in the last 5 months of taking it, my blood pressure shot up to 90/150 which is way above average. My breast are sore at different times, in the beginning they hurt continously. Has anyone experienced while taking this pill, pulsating dull pain in what feels to be the veins, ex legs and arms? This has concerned me the most and I am going to see the doctor this week. My skin is clear but hell this is not worth it!!

my daughter is 16 takes Yasmin for severe periods and cramps, stomach pain, moodiness during her periods. She has just started complaining about headache that hurt really bad, not like migraine headaches, she already had a history of those and said that they feel different. I'm worried, has anyone experienced this?
