Yasmin and stomache

Hi, since I started Yasmin in March I have been getting stomach aches and recently they have become more frequent. They usually start when I am eating or drinking alcohol, after a few bits I begin feeling nauseous and my stomach hurts. Sometimes it gets to the point where it just knocks me out, I don't move because I might throw up and my stomache won't let me...it's not fun. So I was just wondering if this could be from yasmin? I am especially concerned because my 21st birthday is coming up and I would like to enjoy it.
I would love some feedback! Thank you!

I'M QUITTING YASMIN.. SICK OF IT! i started it two months ago and since then i've had almost NO SEX DRIVE, in BAD MOODS, i cry spontaneously for no reason, my stomache hurts and i'm uncomfortable every time after i eat, i'm tired way more, and yeah, my boyfriend and i fight a lot more too.

think twice before getting this stuff, it might be an effective birth control but it's because you never want sex again and you fight with your boyfriend!

i want to be myself again, i want my sex drive back, i want things to go back to normal between me and my bf... and my boobs didn't get bigger so who cares i'm donzo!

Hello Ladies,

I began taking Yasmin about 2 weeks ago. I've taken Ortho Tri Cyclene and Ortho Lo before and have never had any problems, but I went off the pill for about 2 years and my Gyno said that this would be a good pill for someone going back on birth control. I thought that my side effects were just my body getting used to the pill again.

I started the pill pack on the first day of my period, and my period dissappeared in a day. I continued taking the pills and every day since I've been getting these cramps in my lower stomache (I can only describe them as similar to menstrual cramps- and I often feel nauseous), my back has been killing me, and I've been noticing more and more breakthough bleeding every day. It's almost like I've had a light period for 2 weeks. I've started to consider taking a pregnancy test but I don't know if these would be the side effects to taking the pill when you're pregnant, and I really don't think I am-- I think I'm going crazy.

I'm going on vacation in 2 days and I'm going to see if I can get an appointment with my doc to change the pill, because I'm not going to quit and get my period and I can't keep taking this horrible pill.

If anyone has any new advice, please let me know!!

Just started taking Yasmin last weekend and wow the side effects are awful. I feel sick to my stomache 24/7 and I can't sleep at all! The insomnia is brutal. Even when I do get to sleep I'm terribly restless and toss and turn like crazy. I know that they say these side effects should subside as time goes on but I'm not hanging in there. I feel like a zombie today. I haven't really slept in days and I feel like I'm in a total fog. No thanks! I would not recommend Yasmin at all. :(

i've been on yasmin for about a month and a half (short time i know), but i've been noticing emotional and physical peculiarities already. i have never been on the pill before. My 3 week mark of taking it coincided with the beginning of my second semester at college, so i thought that may have contributed to this depression i'm feeling. i feel constantly anxious about things i could handle fine last just last semester. i have lost all appetite, but force myself to eat healthy food when i do eat and STILL i have gained about 10 pounds since the start of BC. does anyone else experience STABBING abdominal pains after eating? about 10 minutes after eating anything, my stomache starts cramping and i have to lay still in the fetal position to make it subside. my boobs have also grown at least half a cup size and hurt ALL THE TIME. i had no idea this could happen. It could just be paranoia, but i seem to be losing more hairs than normal in the shower and on my pillowcase.

i plan on switching to ortho tri-cyclin as soon as possible. i dont want to deal with this trial drug.
