User Reviews for Yasmin

I've just turned 48, and for the past year or so I've had mid-cycle breakthrough bleeding. Six months ago this changed to a daily, dark brown, old blood discharge. My ob/gyn thought that low estrogen was the cause so I tried birth control pills for the first time in over 20 years. The first two brand made things worse, and then I tried Yasmin. The daily bleeding stopped within 24 hours and stayed away. Side effects for me are a bit of breast tenderness and some weight loss. I don't care what other side effects show up, to be honest. I'm so glad I tried Yasmin.

I was prescribed it because I was suffering from very bad cramps. This did not do anything to relieve the pain. It turned me into an absolute wreck where I was crying all of the time, from the very first day. It affected my sleep. As well as this my breasts were unbearably painful and they ballooned in size. This pill also made me break out on my face. In short, taking this pill was an absolute nightmare.

I have taken this pill for 7 years and my gyno recommended a lower dose pill (Yaz). Yasmin has done wonders for PCOS symptoms of acne, weight gain and overall mood issues. I am 45 years old and do not smoke. Overall, it has been an amazing pill.
