Swollen Ankles on yasmin

andra · 05-07-2008, 05:24 PM

Anyone had this? Doc says that this is not what it is and wants me to have a stress test but I went off of them for 6 months and the swelling went away. It also says that is one of the side effects.

Can anyone suggest another BCP that might not give me the swelling?

I appreciate any help!!!

Weird for Yasmin to cause that. The progestin in it is a derivative of Spiro, which is a diuretic. It's one of the few that won't (usually) cause swelling.
