I started taking Yasminelle (its dosage is much lower than Yasmin's) about 5-6 months ago; the side-effects I endured during the first two months keep coming back as soon as I start a new packet. Side effects such as nausea during the first week of taking the pills, continuous breast pain. These side effects are completely making me seem like a total freak when I am out- I am always complaining about how sick I feel and I also can't drink because as a result i feel queasy and I'd have to stop. Does any one else feel the same way on Yasminelle particularly? i have been searching online for discussions regarding Yasminelle but I have found none at all...anyone else on Yasminelle and do you consider it a good form of birth control?
Merlo - I felt the same as you did - I just took Yasminelle for one month and now I've decided to stop taking it since I had nause, breast pains in the first week of assumption... In addition, I had some blood spots during the 3 weeks of Yasminelle. After the 3 week, I had my period, but it was not really a "light" period but a heavy one: it lasted 5/6 days, much pain and so on.

Jen_101 - i switched from yasmin to yasminelle, all ive been having problems with is extreme leg cramps!!
Beckyboo1 - i started taking it for the first time last week and im still bleeding...kinda annoyed now like
Izzy21 - Ya I started taking it 4 months ago. My last period lasted 15 days, the pain was excuciating for much of that time, and now, a wk and a half later, i have another period!!! Not happy!
Reb1984 - i have been taking it for just about a month, and it is hell. i am moody, my boobs are killing me, and i have been bleeding for three weeks. plus, my hair started falling out way more than normal the first day i started taking it. am going to give it about 3 more days and if it does not improve, i won't take it anymore.
Kh1991 - i was on Yasmin for 11 months and suffered intense migraines and leg cramps, three months ago i changed to Yasminelle and still suffer from migraines and leg cramps. from being on both yasmin and yasminelle i have suffered alot of discomfort during sex and vaginal dryness. i spoke to my doctor and she said it may or may not be the medication but i was fine before i went on them.
Nedzet - I've been on Yasminelle for about 4 months and I love it! This is my first birth control, but the only problem I had was the first two months my period didn't come when I finished my 21 days. But the next month it came very nice and normal and light. I do have a few cramps, but I have always had cramps off and on, and they haven't been very bad with the pill. I actually also think some of my recent weight loss is due to the pill, I'm not really sure why but maybe the fact that it is taking control of my hormones makes me not hold onto water like I used to... All in all, I have been very happy with Yasminelle. As far as my health: I don't have any health issues and I only went on the pill for birth control reasons, no reasons of acne or period regularization.
My current dilemma is whether or not I want to try out the cheaper generic brand, but I have a feeling that I won't, since I don't want to change a good thing.
Volly - Hi, ladies!!!
I started taking Yasminelle less then a month ago and the main idea was to delay my period as I have a romantic holiday comming up next week. During my 1st week I had my period which was few days longer then usual but I did not panic as my doctor said that it is common side effect.
I didn't stop after finishing firts pack and started second one. First days I had some bleeding which now looks like period... I am totally confused and not sure what to do.... my doctor is out of reach. Should I stop taking the pill? Or should I wait and hope that this bleeding will stop by the next week "holiday"?
Yvey - I am on Yasminelle after coming off Yasmin for 5 years. I lately started getting severe migraines when coming off my last pill and just the day before my period. I started Yasminelle but my mood swings are so bad, I am paranoid and the migraines I got before now last longer that a day very severe, I need 2 prescriptive migraine tablets to ease it. So the prognosis is I am coming off it. Cant take it after 4 months it still has not calmed down. I never had problems with Yasmin only in the last year. Also got bleeding early which was not similiar to period, didnt feel like my system accepted it. But the headaches I can do without so I am going to try an old reliable Mercilon. Good luck
Ceska - Hello Ladies
I have been taking the pill for about 7 years now and I am only 26 years old. I started taking it due to hormonal unbalance effecting my peel, acne and period pains. I started with Diane but effected me real bad. I was on Yasmin for about 5 years but then I was told to switch to yasminelle as this pill was lighter. however, since i switched to yasminelle I have suffered from severe migranes and now I ama thinking to switch back to yasmin. did anyone pass throguh the same thing?

Poivre - The only side-effects I've gotten from Yasminelle was the 5kg weight gain. I don't eat more than before (800cal a day) and I jog and do sit-ups every day. And I still keep gaining and gaining weight.
Tierna91 - the only bad thing to happen to me when i started yasminelle was that i bled (very lightly) for the whole first month. after that everything was fine. my period never got any lighter though which was disapointing because mine are heavy.
Anno - im on yasminelle but my cycle is messed up because i missed some. but i kept bleeding for two weeks but continuously took my pill after the 7 days. i want to delay my period will the yasminelle still do that even though my cycle is messed up?
Grinningcat - I have been on Yasminelle for about 3 years now. I started at age 24 and it was the first pill I had ever taken. I began taking it as birth control, with the hope it would reduce serious period pains, which I am glad to say, have disappeared all together. So far, I suffered no side effects at all, other than modest weight loss and a decrease in libido. However, I have occasional tightness in my calves and the number of spider veins has soared. I have been trying to find some info on Yasminelle in connection to surface spider veins, but there is hardly any info on Yasminelle in general, other than what Bayer puts out to promote the product. Besides this, Yasminelle is working for me, although I would like to see some more research on it.
Zlata - Hello!
I've been on Yasminelle for 2 years with 1 month for rest. It was bad idea because I felt brest pain during next 4 months. My doctor said it was normal for using the pills. I don't know the reason but It seems to me that I lose my hair. It begin in spring and I don't like my hair now. Can the pills be a reason of this? It's necessary to use the pills. I afraid to stop use them because pregnancy., I'm married and we plan to have a baby in our future.
Emeretia - Hello everyone, unfortunately I will have to stop Yaminelle because I gained 3 kgs in 3 months. I eat 1000 kcal a day and run 3/4 times a week. I have not increased my food intake and I am full of water retention and cellulite. I also got mood swings which is not me at all.
Joanne10 - I have been on Yasmninelle for about 6 months now. However I am getting severe migraines lasting upto five days, I am bleeding for approx 2-3 days longer than before I went on the pill and I have noticed mood swings and being very teary and sensitive to everything.
Mg91 - hey all, does anyone get upper gastric problems after a few days of taking yasminelle? coz everytime i start them, after about 4 days i start having a bad taste after eating and an extreme feeling of irritating fullness down my esophagus when i take the pill...sometimes i also feel its difficult to breathe normally because of this
Caz 81 - HI Mg91, I used to never get feelings of heart burn before. But now I do. Darting esophagus pain. Ive been on yasminelle for about 7-8 months. I feel really emotional and upset the week before my period. Always the week before.
