Hormonal havoc on Yasmin?

[mariya]

Hi, I was just wandering whether anyone else has experienced the following on yasmin:
I have been on it for about 5 months and have always felt fine but for some reason for the past 5 days my breasts have been very sore and they got bigger in size too(I'm not complaining about that part) and 4 days ago I just burst out crying for no reason at all and could stop crying for the next 10 minutes.
I think it's about 1-1.5 weeks till I am due for my period, is this normal?
It's just that with Yasmin I have never had any breast tenderness or PMS of any form and now all of a sudden this?
Please share your thought/experiences because I'm a bit confused.
Thank you and looking forward to your replies.

I have no side effects like this from yasmin, I'm just naturally all messed up in the hormonal department.

I actually think Yasmin helps me with the unbalances.

I used to experience something similar when I was taking Ortho tri-cyclen. After the 2nd row of pills i was a raving hormonal lunatic!

I've been on yasmin for three months now and I've also started noticing the breast tenderness.

I have been getting some mood swings but not anything extreme. Also, my breasts seem firmer to me so that probably means they're growing again but they don't seem sore.

But I have great chocolate cravings the week before AF!

I experienced crying jags quite a bit when I first started Yasmin. I could watch a commercial and the tears seemed to come from nowhere. It seemed to ease by the third month on the pills. I also experienced some significant cramping and heavy bleeding my first month, prompting me to call my doc -- she said this was relatively normal, and to give it a good 5 months before giving up. I'm glad I waited it out!

Sometimes I get breast tenderness, but mostly I am very weepy. I cry at commercials ect. . . .

I've just noticed I've started getting a lot more pains and moodiness the third week. IS this just me or does anyone else notice this? I've never had "PMS" before, so I wonder if it's that, but it seems too far in advance to be PMS. (Usually starts the first couple pills of the third week, and I don't normally start until the 4th pill of the last week)

I'm always a sap, so it's hard for me to know if the weepiness is from yasmin, or just me being me.

i'm having constant breat tenderness, i never had it before. i was on ortho for 4 years, and was always an emotional wreck, but now it's just the boobs. i don't cry as much as i used to. i'd rather have tenderness than waterworks every 5 minutes. i also know mine have grown (D cup!) which is weird (but cool) since i've been losing weight for the last month. so it must be one of those things we all share.
