Some of you who are currently/suddenly having problems with Yasmin may want to check and see if you are getting the new generic for it. I was on Yasmin for 8 years, up until 7 months ago, when I went off of it. I was having periods normally but this month so far nothing and it usually happens no later than the 20th. If nothing happens by the ends of the month, I'm back on BCP's. Plus, I am trying to get gastric banding and they want all women who have "the equipment installed" to be on BCP's for the first year after surgery. I was thinking of moving to Yaz as I just don't like generic horomones and mood meds. So, I'm glad this thread was bumped up. Yasmin never really did anything for me(never really hurt me either) but I did have to have two weeks of placebo pills in order to have a period, so I am hoping the lower estrogen in Yaz will trigger a period faster and I can take them like normal.
