Yasmin Birth Control Pills

Hello. I'm 26 year old female and I have been using several different birth control pills in a past few years.
And I have experienced several bad things about them, beside their good effect. You see, all the time I have been using them I get these terrible headaches, menstrual changes, breast tenderness, abdominal cramps and bloating.
Now, I have heard some good stuff about this new pill called Yasmin birth control pill and I would like to find out more about it. Did anybody have any experience with it so far?

Hi. I know some facts about this new pill because I have been using it about a month already. I can't say only the best about it.
There is one interesting thing about these pills: you see, you get 23 pills in the pack which consist the same amount of estrogen and progestin. You drink those 23 days, one per day. Then, the next seven days, you drink placebo pills so you will get your period.
Common benefits of Yasmin include fewer PMS and menstrual symptoms, prevention of acne and less premenstrual weight gain.
This pill is special also because it contains synthetic hormones that are very similar to these naturally occurring hormones.
I don’t know what to say more about it- try it and see for your self.

Hi,

I've had many different types of bc pills and I use to get heaps of cramps, tenderness, totally sore breasts and mega vomiting.

I've been on Yasmin for about 6months now and alot of these bad side effects which I'd sufferd with for years have stopped. well it's no mirical cure I still get some cramps and sore boobs but it's know where near as bad as it use to be.

you should talk to your doctor about it.

Yasmin is a newer pill that is VERY WELL TOLERATED!!

NUVA RING is also a birth control option with very few side effects.

Yasmin is something you maybe should consider.

I mean Im a chubby chick---I dont wanna to gain more cuz of those birth control....I was on DEPO shot for about a year and half. I got off of it, because I didnt like it..it made me gain weight..I know its soo cool not having period at all, but weight gaining isnt what I want. HOpefully someone will help and give me some good advices. [/quote]

I am 18 years old and have been on Yasmin birth control for a year now, i have not missed one pill and am very good at taking it the same time everyday. My boyfriend and i have unprotected sex, even when im on my sugar pills. It has been working great for me and i swear by it. I think that you need to take it everyday and the same time!

I just started Yasmin yesterday. Took it at 7 05 pm. Today I forgot to take it until 7 25 pm. Will I be ok or should I talk to my doctor?

I have been taking yasmin for 3mths now..I asked for it because I heard it helped with Severe PMS lol...I do find it help in that respect but one side effect that I have noticed is a complete loss of sex drive! I hoping this evens out or I'll be looking for another alternative

Yasmin....I've been on it for over a month...I get nauseated in the afternoons from it, as well as I have noticed a drop in sex drive.
If things are not going well, it might be wise to change. I am going to wait one more month, and then see if I need to switch.
I can't wait until the babies have come and gone so that my husband can get a vasectomy...
And taking the pill within an hour or two is ok. there is a small window of time, don't worry about it!
