Yasmin and time please

Hi Guest 31031!!

Well, out of my experiences with getting off Yasmin, everything looks "pretty normal" (as far as you can say so though....) what's going on with your daughter!!

I've been off Yasmin for about 1,5 years now and still struggling with those problems around ovulation and the time, where my period should start (didn't get it regularly ever since stopping Yasmin!!!).

And another thing: 4 weeks off Yasmin isn't really much, I fear! How long had your daughter been taking Yasmin?

I had been on it for about 5 very long YEARS... And therefor I think I'm having harder times to get back to normal than someone whou only took it for about 1 year or even shorter...

But give it more time, please! At the time of 4 weeks I still felt totally ill and down. And after that time I had those problems every few weeks again, and always around ovulation and starts of my period!

The only thing that you could do is stand by the side of your daughter, keep her going with always telling her, that it WILL get better again after a few days or weeks. And this is one thing I CAN REALLY PROMISE!! It WILL get better again!!

That's what everyone around me (my husband and my parents) always kept telling me, when I was again at that point, where I thought I couldn't go on any longer. And it was the only thing that helped me not to loose hope!! And they were so right!! The nightmare always stopped again after a few days or weeks and I felt myself getting better again!!

Hormonal problems are nothing which can be solved within a few weeks. And the Yasmin-poison takes much longer to get out of your system than only a few weeks. And only when it is completely OUT the hormonal system can start to rebalance without that artificial hormones.

I can imagine how hard it is to see your daughter in such a bad constitution. It was the same with my parents and husband. They were all so worried but a very important thing is: Don't let her know, how worried you are!! Always try to stay strong and sure in telling her, better times are ahead!!

I wish you all the best and god's bless and I swear, you'll get through this with your daughter. And please tell her, that she's not alone, we're all feeling with her!!

I have just been on Yasmin for 1 month and I am experiencing terrible heartburn and heart palpitations. I also notice that I am very tired all the time. And I have notice a large change in my mood swings, I seen to get very upset at the very smallest things.

I have a 1 year child and I can't be feeling like this all the time. Please help!

I have been on Yasmin for 6 months now and I have had constant nausea and vomiting from time to time. I had no idea it was the Yasmin. I have been on every b/c on the market and never had any of the side effects till now. The worst part is that I had no idea it could be the Yasmin. I just found out yesterday and still have 2 more pills to take..ugh! I have been to a GI dr for the nausea and he agrees that it is most likely the Yasmin but I have to go for x-rays and an endoscopy anyway to be sure. I kind of hope it is the Yasmin at this point and not something more serious. I just want to say THANK YOU to every single person that took the time to post ...I was in tears when I started to read all the suffering we have done but at the same time I feel so alive right now to finally have something to link my being sick all the time.
