Default i am going on yasmin!!

I hate this hair,,,it's annoying and I want to be rid of it. I have a shiny forehead, food cravings, and feel bloated. I want the spiro effects of yasmin and I want the hair to be reduced. Got another Rx for vaniqa and I'm going on yasmin before I get started on the vaniqa again ( I was too poor before to pay for it)

So, if you care, I am starting yasmin the sunday after my period. I will update this thread with the effects of yasmin on me if anyone is interested

i suffer from migraines and they got gradually worse while i was on it, also i gained about a stone in fluid retention, which was delightful! however it also made me less hairy and i don't think i ever had a spot while on it and it made my boobs enormous(sorry tmi). however its not supposed to cause these things so i tihnk it must just be because i get migraines it reacted badly.

I'll be starting Yasmin soon, too, so I'll be interested to compare experiences with you. (I won't start for a little while yet because I have to take Provera first.)

when you start yasmin, how soon till you feel the side effects? I took my first pill today and I feel the same. i know it's a bit premature to feel anything from it but I wonder how long it takes

I'm starting Yasmin tomorrow as well... I would love to stay in touch and see how we all go on it, if anyone's interested? I was on Brevinor before and had no troubles, although Diane 35 was a distaster!
I am so excited to be starting Yasmin... lol. Seems funny, I know, but nothing I do (gym, weight training, Low GI diet etc etc) has made a difference so far. From previous experience I know that BCPs work a treat for me, especially with weight loss.
Good luck!

i kind of feel sick right now. Like i just have this sick feeling in my stomach and I think it's from the yasmin. I have a very sensitive stomach and I vomit more than anyone I know (and not on purpose!).

My appetite has completely died. I don't feel like eating at all.

Other than that, I feel normal. No changes in boobs, weight, hair, etc. But then again I've only been on it for 3 days

I just started Yasmin this past Sunday. I feel fine. No headaches or stomachaches. I have not broke out alot this week like I normally do after my period, but I'm not sure if the Yasmin would work that fast. I'm curious how it will effect my hairloss. One thing though I noticed, I have been peeing alot lately.

If you have a weak stomach you can take your BCP vaginally. This way it doesn't disturb your stomach, and will still enter your blood stream.

This is actually very common, and i dont know why doctors dont suggest it more. But you can give that a try if your stoach is weak to BCPs.

Hope things get better!
