Yasmin and sister in law

I love Yasmin! I've been taking it for over a year now (I'm 31). I have little to no pms, super light periods, perfect skin, and no weight gain from taking this. My only complaints would be that I do get mild, dull headaches in the temple areas of my head more often than I ever remember. They're not bad though, and they don't ever last long. They're just annoying. Also, I noticed my period doesn't show up til day 4 of the placebo pill, which can be a little nerve wracking.

My 3 close friends, 2 sisters and a sister in law of mine all take Yasmin and none of us have ever had any major complaints about it. :)

OK, first off I wanta say that(please don't get mad at me)when my sister in law told me about this website and the things you guys had said about Yasmin I was like "are they crazy?". Well I see now I was. I thought Yasmin was wonderful, I've lost weight and everything, well after reading what many of you wrote I see now my other problems are from Yasmin. Shortly after starting Yasmin I started taking Serafem for extreme moodiness, didn't link the two together. Then I have 0 and I mean 0 sex drive, I've started eating uncontrollably in the past 2 weeks(I've been on Yasmin for 7 months by the way)and the other day I was talking to my husband when all of a sudden I had what felt like an earth quake in my head! My vision shook and I was dizzy and had a horrific headache(which I most of the time have). It wasn't till I found this site that I realize that was a very serious side affect. It could have been a stroke-like side affect. I've been dizzy for quite some time. I also already a heart condition that causes a fast heartbeat so I definately don't need any help in that area. I'm so glad I found this site. I started my first Nuvaring today so I'm looking up. I really would like to report this drug. Good luck to you all!

Lots of leg cramps & severe bruising have been my problems with this drug. I have been on Yasmin for a year to clear up severe acne, which it did beautifully. But these bruises are really freaky and sore. My sister-in-law is also taking Yasmin and is also having problems with cramping.

Hi my name is Kim. As I posted in the forums this birth control pill remains a mystery. It does different things to different people and I love reading your comments. Please keep them coming. Id love to know your experience with yasmin. This is my first low dosage birth control pill in 10 years and Ive been on it for 5 months. The first couple of months I had bad headaches but other than that this pill has made me feel great. I have never had any luck with weightloss on my other birth controls but since I started this one I have lost around 30 lbs and am amazed and thrilled over that. My sister in law was a different story though. Yasmin made her have migranes during her period and she craved food all the time and gained weight. Plus she felt uptight all the time and wasnt relaxed. Since she switched to ortho tri cyclin lo she is feeling 100 percent better. If so many people are having trouble with yasmin then looks like its only a matter of time and it will end up discontinued. Im sorry for those of you who didnt find luck with it as I did.
