Q: Frequent Urination Question...yasmin Or Pregnant?

I was on ortho-tri for 2 years, then I switched to ortho lo for 4 months. I started having symptoms of being preggo and I went in for a blood test (fairly early, only about a day or 2 after my period.) I had a very light period...Or bleeding, not sure if it was an actual period.

Anyways, the blood test was negative (as well as the hpt's i've taken) so my doc switched me to yasmin....


Then I started to doubt the blood test because my boobs (nipples) started to hurt and tingle, and I started urinating more...And more...And more...Now I pee every 45 minutes or so during the day.


I found out that yasmin is a mild diuretic too- which makes you pee more and yasmin would also explain my sore boobs...And now bigger boobs. But then I heard you can releive frequent urination (at night) by taking the pill in the morning....But I do take the pill at night and my frequent urination is during the day...Not during the night.


Anyways...I'm starting to think I might be prenant afterall...Which angers me off because i've been taking bc all month! I'm supposed to start my period again and its 2 days late...I'll just wait. I don't want to waste more money on hpt's and have my period come tomorrow.


Does anyone have any experience with yasmin- how much did it make you pee. Oh- and i'm still peeing every 45 minutes and i've been on the inactive pill for 3 days now. Shouldn't it subside by now?


My body is driving me crazy!!!!!

Yasmin does the same thing to me. I thought I was preg every month on it. I have also talked to other women who said they experienced the same reaction. I think it is the pill.

Thank You!
I feel like nobody ever talks about that as a side effect. I guess it's more of an effect of the diuretic- not a side effect. Does it eventually go away or will I always have to pee every hour? It's annoying!

Bad news is, mine never went away. It was always worse the week before my period. It sucks!! But I didn't gain weight on yasmin, actually lost a couple pounds. That is a major pro.
