Advantages: Haven't found any yet Disadvantages: Migraine, weight gain, extreme fatigue, bloating, eye pain
I have been on Yasmin for just one month now and cannot wait until my 3 month check up to come off it! I was prescribed Yasmin to sort out what is thought to be a hormornal disorder but it is just awful and I can't decide which is worse - taking Yasmin or doing nothing. The contaceptive benefits do nothing for me as my spouse had a vasectomy years ago. The bloating & weight gain began within the first week and the migraines started shortly after as did the constant nausea! I felt better in my first trimesters of my two pregnancies! Ugg! I am physically exhausted and my eyes ache. As it has only been one month and my doctor wants me taking the pills straight through for 3 months without stopping for periods, I will cross my fingers that things improve! They have to, right? ;) ...
Advantages: Lighter/regular periods, no pregnancy, no side effects. Disadvantages: Can be difficult to remember to take it, other than that no problems.
I've been on the Yasmin pill for nearly a year now, and was prescribed it following an appointment with my doctor when I explained how irregular and painful my periods were. On hearing this, she prescribed me with the pill Yasmin and explained that I may experience some problems, but it was to be expected. If they got worse, then I would end up having to go back to change to another pill.
I never had to do that, even when I started it up for the first time I experienced no side effects. The only problems I had with headaches were caused by other factors. This is the first and only pill that I have personally tried, and I was (still am) surprised by the effectiveness.
I soon discovered that the little acne that still existed on my body soon went away better than when I tried using other acne treatments, and that my skin in general ...
Advantages: Didn't Fall Pregnant, sorted out my periods Disadvantages: sickness and sore heads
I had been on several other pills since the age of 18, but they all seemed to make me put on weight, due to other health problems which the weigh gain affected I came off them all for 6 years, it took 3 years for me to lose the 2 stones i had put on and hadn't been able to shift whilst on the pill, i can only assume that the pill stays in your system for awhile dependant on how long you took it. My doctor recommended Yasmin as a new pill last year saying that trials carried out stated that there would be no weight gain.
So i tried it out for 6 months, you take Yasmin for 21 days have your usual 7 days off then repeat, ok it made my periods more regular and less painful along with easing the pain I have in my breasts for 2 weeks due to fibroids, but for the 1st month i felt sick all the time. I gained over a stone also. Not to ...
