Yasmin and period 4

hi,sorry to hear about all the problems you are having,i too had problems with controlling my anger,i would snap and snarl at my family for no good reason or i would be in floods of tears and wanting to die. i stopped taking yasmin mid pack with no ill effects except that i got a 'period' 4 days after i stopped the pills but that didn't bother me as much as the horrible side effects i was having from taking the yasmin. your moods are directly linked to your hormones and your serotonin levels,bcp's can have quite a big impact on these. stop taking the pills,drink loads of water,take a good multivit and also add some extra magnesium and calcium,hopefully once your own hormones take back over and your body repairs your rage issues should subside,mine have. you just really need to be good to yourself and your body and you will see an improvement. best wishes to you,hang in there it will get better.

My Gyn told me to try this new "great" pill. It was Yasmin. So I tried it for two days then I realized I didn't research the pill. So I started to research it and I stumbled upon this site. After reading everybodys posts I decided to stop taking Yasmin. Since I stopped taking my pill after only TWO days of being on it, Ive had my period 4 TIMES in the last month and a half!!! WTF!!! That is too much for 20 yr. old to handle!

Has anyone had this happen? The 'blank pills' week is hell week for me. The mood swings are almost unbearable. My poor boyfriend didn't know what to think until I finally narrowed it down to these new pills. I'm in 'hell week' of my second pack of pills and am trying so hard to be patient and give it the full 3-month trial.

I was on Ortho Novum 777 for 14 yrs then my HMO decided to switch to somthing very similar, chemically, but I had these wild mood swings with that and so I went to my dr, told her it wasn't working for me and she prescribed Yasmin, told me to try and if it didn't work for me, that we'd switch me back to Ortho. So other than the 'hell' week, Yasmin is actually working out for me, my sex drive is up, my energy is up...just hate this week.

After reading some of the above posts, however, I see that I can probably just skip the blank pills and just take the active pills continuously, but I'm not sure exactly how to do that. Would I ever let my body have a period? I've seen some postings that say they have a period 4 times a year?

Any info would be greatly appreciated. aiownk@yahoo.com
