Frequent Urination Question...yasmin Or Pregnant? Posted: 11-17-05 17:52pm
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! Posted: 11-17-05 18:02pm
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.
