 4  Prevent pregnancy I seldom get cramps in my feet or calves due to the pill. Lighter, shorter periods, less cramping during menstral cycle, slight weight loss. I really like this pill compared to others but I may switch due to sexual side effects. Did NOT effect my sex drive however I now find it extremely difficult to climax during sex which is very frustrating. F 21 2 years

 2  Endometriosis, Birth Control Breakthrough Bleeding, Severe Mood Swings, Weight Gain Been on several types of BC for 14 years. Can't tell if Yasmin has helped control then Endo, but has dulled the pain. Yet still experiencing breakthrough bleeding and spotting throughout the month. Each month 5-7 days before period, severe mood swings - PMS magnified 100x over. Irrational behavior including anger (screaming and throwing things), crying, paranoia, suicidal thoughts and 'manic' modes. Lasts for 2-3 days then back to "normal". Has become progressively worse the longer I'm on the pill, negatively impacting my close relationships. Thinking I was manic/depressive until I talked to someone on Yasmin with the exact same side effects. Also gained 15lbs that will not come off. F 32 13 months

 2  birth control vaginal dyness and lack of sex drive, bacterial infections, constant unusual discharge, irritability Thank god I found this site - now i understand all the symptoms I've had. I never had bacterial infections before and have never had a problem with lubrication - it was making my boyfriend feels as though I didn't fancy him anymore. My periods are great on it - really light - but the other side effects are rubbish. Really lost interest in sex too. Off to the docs tomorrow to change my pill. What a relief!! F 31 1 years

 2  Birth Control Sex drive GONE Otherwise, this was a great pill - I lost weight, my complexion was perfect for the first time EVER, and had minimal PMS, etc. I would recommend this for anyone who is NOT in a relationship, and is interested in birth control for period regulation, improved complexion, etc. However, I had to switch pills because the total lack of libido was hard on my marriage.

 2  To make periods less of a pain I don't mind taking the pill everyday. I have lost my sex drive over a 2 year period. I have been with my boy friend for 3 years. The first year was amazing. I felt great about myself and wanted to be sexual with him. After taking this pill i have found that I hate being sexual and I disagree with everything. I have moodswings which leave me to hate my boyfriend. I need to change the pill.. anyone know any good ones please let me know F 19 2 years

 1  Fibroid Tumors BAD: severe depression, anxiety, mood swings GOOD: weight loss because of the diuretic. I had frequent urination also because of the diuretic althought the doctor said side effects usually go away in three months, I couldn't tolerate another minute of feeling the way I did. I hadn't felt that depressed since a loved one passed F 33 1 months

 1  birth control This pill is AWFUL! I do not reccomend this pill to anyone! I have been on it for 6 weeks and since then I have had a nightmare every night and have developed insomnia because of them. Extreme breast tenderness, loss of self, feeling sad all the time for no reason at all. I already suffer from depression and this is not how I want to feel! I love my husband more than life itself and our relationship is suffering because of this medicine. I am quitting as of tonight! Having him by my side and not letting this stuff ruin my marriage is worth more than some horrible birth control! And my lack of sex drive is just horrible! F 28 6 weeks

 2  pregnancy prevention breast swelling and tenderness (not too severe), complete and utter loss of sex drive I really don't mind if my boobs get slightly bigger, but whats the point of a pregnancy prevention pill if sex is the last thing on your mind?! seriously i can't even remember what it feels like to be aroused and i've been on this pill for a month! I TELL YOU ITS JUST NOT WORTH IT!!! F 20 30 days

 4  cramping The only side effect I experience is a significant loss of sex drive. Everything else is great, it's the best one I've been on. It's very stressful being in a relationship and not wanting to have sex with your partner. This weighs heavily on my decision to stay on yasmin or not, which is what I'm currently debating.

 1  Contraception Tears and mood swings for no real reason, sadness and anxiety I didn't understand quite why I was so upset for a while and put it down to other reasons. But there was no real reason to be upset. And I am usually very happy and chirpy. Then I worked out that I had started a new pill and wondered if it was making me a bit more sensitive. I am pretty sure it was. More research needs to be done on Yasmin. Doctors should be aware and be advising people that Yasmin has such horrible side effects. In the meantime I will be researching any new birth control and its side effects more carefully. (I was on Dianette before and had no problems at all.) F 26 60 days

 1  birth control dehydration, especially in my face and eye sockets, dry lips, severe anxiety, depression, longer drawn out periods lasting 7 or more days with breakthrough bleeding a couple of days before and after my period on the last month I was on it. Most disturbing to me was skin changes on my face, texture change, dry skin, skin feels swollen and sensitive. This pill is awful! I would NOT Recommend this pill to my worst enemy. I hope they pull it off the market. I took ortho novum 777 for over 13 years with no problems. Switched to Yasmin per a doctors recommendation. I was completely healthy with no medical history of any problems. Strong willed and confident, NO history of mental problems, and the yasmin and its side effects and taken their toll on my self confidence and health. After realizing this pill was causing the dehydration in my body by month three I immediately stopped taking it. I would have NEVER taken it had I known there was a diuretic in it (my OB failed to mention this) I should have done my research, I am a registered nurse, I should know better. I assumed all BC pills were the same basically. But wait it gets better, here are the side effects I experienced AFTER STOPPING the Yasmin: Bad headaches of shooting pains in my temples to the back of my eyes, and dull pains on the top of my head like someone hit me with a big F 33 3 months

 1  irregular periods, bad cramps Daily migraines, contacts were unbearable to wear, irrational thoughts, depression, anxiety, loss of sex drive This pill almost ruined my relationship with my long term boyfriend. It made me become numb to everything. I went from being extremely happy and in love to confused about everything in my life. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this horrible pill. I was fine for the first 5 months.. then the side effects hit me like a ton of bricks. F 18 6 days

 5  contraception+controlling skin light spotting between periods the first couple months, but it seems to have subsided So far it is really helping to control my chronic skin problems due to P.C.O.S. I still use the topical stuff, but Yasmin did the trick. I would recommend it to women experiencing such problems. It also regulated my periods. F 31 5 months
