Ok, I'm 24 and was wondering what would happen if I completely went off Yasmin? What would be the effects (good and bad)? I started taking them because my periods were not like clockwork, I always got my period every month, just one month it would a week early, the next maybe about a few days later than usual... but I had good amount of flow for about 4-5 days, each day getting a little less flow as normal. Also, my doctor put me on Yasmin to decrease my acne, which has, but that could also be because I am using medication from my dermatologist. I lost about 15 pounds, but that could also have to do with my low-carb diet which my doctor suggested (also linked to my yeast infections which are gone now). But I am still considering getting off Yasmin because my mom is worried about its link to breast cancer. So what would happen if all of a sudden I completely stopped. (I am not taking them for birth control as I am not sexually active---not until I am married.)
Hi,
You could always talk to your doctor and see what he thinks about going off the Yasmin.
When I went off my BCP (Ovral at the time) to try to get pregnant, my doctor had me finish the pack so I wouldn't get all off track. The only side effect that bothered me after I went off the Ovral was that my hair started falling out even faster than before! On the bright side my migraines improved. I would talk to your doctor, that way you could get some more info about a breast cancer link too.

Yes, I would talk to your doctor. Also congrats on waiting until you're married to have sex -- there are very few people that do that. I was one and believe me it is SO worth it.

Hiya, it sounds to me like you don't need to be on the pill, your monthlies don't sound bad at all, and I can see how you'd want to try and clear your skin but just try what your dermatologist recommends, congrats on losing the weight but as you say it might not be the pill thats made you lose it. I just hate being on the pill but anythings better than being hairy......if you don't have that problem then protect your body from the pill, especially as your not needing contraception either, lots love, Bright hope x

my periods are irregular but i do get one once a month and they become more irregular with exercise. I'm on Yasmin too. I just started it sunday and all the side effects of the medicine freak me out but my mom is urging me too. I just wanted to say is keep me posted if you go off of Yasmin because I hate the fact of being on a birth control pill and heard that the side effects get worse getting off of them.

What would happen if I get off Yasmin?
