? about Yasmin

I started Yasmin exactly a week ago, the day after I started my period. I usually have a lot of breast tenderness right before my period starts which is normal for me, along with back pain and horrible cramps. Well the backpain and the cramps have gone away, and my period is practically over now, but my boobs are still killing me! I sleep on my stomach at night, and the past 2 nights I haven't been able to sleep well b/c they hurt so much...has anyone else had this problem?

I'm on yasmin for 2 weeks now and are getting horrible leg pains. I'm thinking about asking my dr monday for a different bcp

My mom used to have the same problem with BCP when she was younger, her legs hurt so much that she went off of the mcompltely.

unfortently that's not an option for me since df and I want to be extra careful not to get pregnant. I need the BCP. Know of any with less symptoms?

My breasts were swollen for a good 2 months, I think, when I went back on Yasmin. The good news is that they aren't anymore! The first couple of months were rough for me, but I guess it's sorta been worth it. My testosterone went from 89 to 19 and my acne is better but not gone.

oh good..thanks myeall!!! My acne needs to go away too, so I hope that will work for me as well!!

It's not uncommon for your breasts to be very sore until your body gets adjusted to the hormone levels. It might take 2 or 3 months.
