Hey again!
Yasmin has the normal pills with hormones
for three weeks. Then on the fourth week
there are "placebo pills" which have no
hormones. You don't even really have to
take them, they are mainly there to help
you keep on schedule, so you don't get out
of the habit of taking them. Does that
make sense? I thought all brands were
that way, but since i've only been on
yasmin, I dont really know....
i just started taking yasmin. I have
been reading on here and its really
starting to freak me out what everyone is
asaying. Can you tell me about your
expereince? I would def appreciate it.
This is my first bc pill.

Dls1729, I too have read some scarey
things about yasmin, only after I started
the pill though, I am only 19 years old
and I feel like an old cracky geezer. I
just started on yasmin about 2 months ago.
Nothing too exciting but I have noticed
frequent bathroom breaks and mood swings.
My poor roommate has noticed a change in
me as well, I just feel listless and I
would rather lay in bed all saturday than
go out like I usually would. I cry at
the littlest things and I get mad over
stupid things. I am trying to figure out
if yasmin is worth all of this stress.
Goodluck :)

I love my yasmin but I do have the side
effect of mood swings...I get
over-emotional about everything and i'm
always crying (happy, sad, excited,
nervous...I just feel like crying!). I
never used to be this way, but since i've
started yasmin (7 months ago) I have been
emotional like this. It's not bad to the
point that I want to risk switching and
mess up my body (i heard worse things
about once you get off yasmin), but still,
I do annoy my boyfriend alot, lol.

Vitamin B6 Posted: 12-06-05 10:37am
I had done research on taking care of the
mood swings as a result of hormonal bc.
They cause a deficiency in b vitamins. I
take a woman's multi-vitamin, and it has a
helft amount of b6, b12, thiamin and
riboflavin, which are found in "b-complex"
vitamins. This can also help with any
issues with hair loss. I've been on
nuvaring for 2 weeks and havent had mood
swings or significant hair loss, and i'm
sure it's because of my vitamin. Give it
a try.

I take women's one a day and chromium
piconilate(spelling?), so i'm not sure
lack of vitamins is my problem. I do
think everyone should take vitamins
though! When I started taking vitamins
everyday people would tell me I look
healthy...My complexion got
(almost)flawless, my hair and skin never
get dry, my nails are stronger...

Yasmin made me very depressed and tired.
It got soooooooooooo bad that I stopped on
the 5th day. I went on it to help clear
my acne. Any other suggestions on bc?
