Q: Yasmin....first Couple Questions , of So Many More

1. I'm on first pack of yasmin, on the 3rd day of the placebo pills.....Still no period. Is this normal? What happens if I go through the placebos and still don't get it? Do I just start a new pack? Could this mean preggo?


2. What's the deal with acne? I hear people say it's causing acne, and I hear people say it's supposed to clear it up. I however, have been getting breakouts....And on my body, too....Not just my face. Is this something that will go away after the first 3 months? Or do I need to switch? I also have been on vicodin for having surgery recently....Could this be a contributor to the acne?


If anyone knows answers to my ?'s, please let me know. I'd love to make some new fellow yasmin user friends. Hope everyone is well!! Take care!!

Hi!
I have been on yasmin for a bout a year and a half and I love it!!!!!! Well here is what I experienced. The very first month I experience break outs too, but after that first pack, I had wonderfully clear skin, i've never had an acne problem but I think that on yasmin my face is clearer than before taking the pill, but like I said the first month I did break out. Now I only get pimples when my period is on or coming on like normal, but besides that I have clear skin.

About not getting your period yet, I remember that on my first pack of yasmin I didn't get my period until the friday of the placebo pills, and I am a sunday starter, I too was worried but it came. After that I started to gradually get it earlier in the sugar pills week, now I am steady on getting it the wednesday of that week, it never fails.

As far as any other symptoms, at first I experience a little bit of morning sickness because I take it at night, but that too went away. Honestly I have not experience weight gain, lost of sex drive, or anything like i've heard some other people have experienced...... I wouldn't trade yasmin for the world! The only thing I have had is spotting if I take two pills late, this has only happened once and it was really annoying because I spotted for three weeks!!!!! But I can't complain that was my fault, so beware do not take your pills late!!!!

I can't say that your experience will be as pleasant as mine since everyone's body is different, but only good things to say about yasmin here!!!!!!
