To all those who have tried Yasmin??
Question:
how long were you taking it??
i think its a pretty good pill, but i've been having dull cramps and migraines/headaches throughout my entire cycle.
Answers:
i took this for about 5 months and i did have side effects, i had headaches and muscle cramps all the time, and i didn't have any of these symptoms like this until after i took the pill.
i didnt take this pill but some of my colleagues did. each one has her own side effect. one felt her skin became smoother and whiter. others said they're feeling sleepy most of the time. i didn't hear anybody saying about headaches or migraines. some of them stopped the pill because it's become a hassle during work. they can't concentrate because they always feel sleepy but nonetheless, non complained about serious side effects
I took it for about 4 months last year, but I've since switched to a triphasic pill. The biggest side effect that I experienced from the Yasmin (and the reason I am no longer on it) was irregular periods. I had a three week period with heavy bleeding the whole time, and several two week periods. My doctor warned me about mid-cycle bleeding, but when I went in for a check-up I told her about the irregular periods and she said that since I was loosing a lot of blood and I am very small I was at risk for becoming iron deficient. However, I have heard from others that it works great for them, so I guess it really just depends on the individual.
