i'm taking it, and i'm in the US.  the doctor prescribed me that.  i do hav a little nauseousness after taking it, it's been a bit better but the 1st month was pretty bad... other than that, it's doing really good for me.  it clears all my breakout and i've become slimmer.  (trust me, i kno if it's becuz of the pills or not.)

I took it for about 2 years.  It cost me about $40/month.  Started out as $30/month but then my insurance changed.  It will depend on your insurance.\n\nI have taken Triphasil which made me puke all the time.  Ortho Mircronor gave me a period every other week - Yuck.  I'm on Lo-Ovral now and it is ok.  My periods are heavier though and I cramp more.  Yasmin worked best for me except that it gave me headaches.  It got to the point that I didn't want to deal with them anymore.  You need to be on something for at least 3 months before you can make a decision.  It takes that long for your body to get used to it.

If you are still bleeding(not breakthrough bleeding) and your on the birth control. Call your dr or ob/gyn right away that is not right. \n\nDo you mean yasmin 28 birth control? Its better if you take it the same time of day i've taken it our the next day because I forgot. \n\nNausea, vomiting, headache, stomach cramping/bloating, dizziness, vaginal discomfort/irritation, increased vaginal fluids, or breast tenderness/enlargement may occur. Acne may improve or get worse. Vaginal bleeding between periods (spotting) or missed/irregular periods may occur, especially during the first few months of use. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor promptly. If you miss 2 periods in a row (or 1 period if the pill has not been used properly), contact your doctor for a pregnancy test.

dont take the shot, and also the sesonal pill that's supposed to stop your period and make you only have 4 a year doesn't work you get two every month, it sucks stay away from that one, I've never tried Yasmin, just ask your doc what one is best for you, I don't think it's going to make your boobs grow though.

I am currently taking yasmin. I took it for a year before switching to the ring for a few years now back to yasmin. Due to the different types of hormones in yasmin, i didnt gain much weight, so my boobs didnt grow.

I don't know what pcos is, but I did hear an expert on Good Morning America tell women that the Yasmin pill should not be on the market because it effects your potassium levels, and could damage your liver.

Yes.  I have switched from pill to pill trying to find one that didn't make me depressed.  It happened to me every week before my period and every week after.  One moment I would be fine and the next I couldn't stop crying over trivial matters.  It did not matter what pill I was on and a lot of doctors couldn't help me, they just kept prescribing different methods of contraception.\n\nI tried Spirulina (vitamins made from Seaweed) for stress purposes and that seemed to help a bit.\n\nEventually I found a very knowledgeable lady.  Apparently (and I kbow it sounds far-fetched but its true) during certain times of the month, women retain water and the pill exacerbates this.  With the extra water, there is more pressure on the brain which sends mixed messages to it causing the emotional rollercoaster you're on.  She prescibed very mild water-tablets for me.  It helped a lot.  The reason the Spirulina seemed to work was because its also a diuretic to some extent.  However, for me it never cleared up completely so I also took Vitamin B6.\n\nNow I'm off the pill and I don't seem to be suffering like I used to.

Condoms are about it, although there are some variations on the same idea (like a head-only cap).  The problem is that the male reproductive system is a lot more complicated than that of a woman, and it has been scientifically difficult to come up with a birth control pill or anything like that for men.\n\nA number of years ago, it looked like the problem might be solved.  A birth control pill was developed and it seemed  to work.  But in testing, it was discovered that even the slightest drop of alcohol would make the user violently ill.  In our society, that made the entire project worthless, and the research was halted.\n\nGood luck!!

I've had one for 5 months now.  I'm 26, have one child and no plans to have any more.  I was looking for an alternative to birth control pills.  Initially I was looking into the Essure insert but it was too permanent, I wanted the ability to change my mind if I wanted another kiddo.\n\nGetting the IUD inserted was uncomfortable.  The next few days were torture.  I was afraid I'd rip something if I farted.  My periods were pretty normal but the last two have been bothersome (light but neverending).  Overall I'm pleased with this method.

Any type of pills that alter your reproductive hormones can mess your periods up. Like me, I'm on Yasmin and my period started a week early and I'm on my 8th day... not common for me at all! Did you do your week of inactive pills? Give them 3 months and if you're still messed up, I'd talk to your gyn about switching to another kind.

I became extremely depressed when I was on some low-dose pills.  I also have hormone irregularities and thought BC would help.  I had to try several different kinds before I finally found one, Yasmin.  It just figures though that my insurance doesnt cover it and I pay $50 a month for it, but that shows you how much I like it, it works great for me.  \n\nBut...everyone's different, it depends on what kinds of hormone imbalance you have, you'll have to talk to your doctor and most likeley get tests done to see what will work for you...and then lots of trial and error

I've been on it for a long time and have few side effects.  I am always very tired, but I've been that way my whole life, so didn't contribute it to the patch.  But I do notice excess weight in my tummy area that I can't get rid of, even though I work out four times a week and the muscles under the fat are hard as a rock.  I think that it may have fewer side effects than some forms of birth control, but like them all, it has some, and they are evil.  I'm making my man get a vasectomy because I'm so tired of dealing with it.  I'm sure we all are.

I have been taking it for over a year now. It is working I guess..I haven't got pregnant. It didn't cause me to lose or gain weight. I wish it would have helped me lose some weight  though. But your body may react differnt to it and you may lose weight. Everyone has differnt side effects. My friend use to take Yasmin but she stopped because she said it made her a total bitch lol! Well good luck with this pill it is suppose to be one of the best.
