Hello - I am 37 years old. In the last
couple of years my pms has become really
bad. For the whole two weeks before my
period I would gain about 5 pounds, turn
into a mean, hateful person, etc..Also, my
periods were becoming more and more heavy
and lasting 5-7 days. I went to my
doctor and begged her to put me on
something for it. She decided to put me
on yasmin...She said it was a low dose
pill (i have never been on any type of
birth control pills in my life.) well, I
have been on the pill almost 2 months now
and since then my face has been broken out
terribly, I have gained 10 pounds and even
worse, I have no sex drive. My husband
and I have only had sex 2 times in the
past two months..And I just wasn't really
interested either time. I feel "dead"
below the waist...Has anyone else had this
problem?? Please help!! I am thinking
about switching or just going off of them
alltogether...I would rather deal with the
pms than all these other new problems...

You really seem to dislike yasmin!!! I am
using it with no problems, but you may
want to ask for ortho-novum if you really
want to switch. I have also heard that
chaste berry extract helps to regulate
your period and relieve pms symptoms. You
can order it from any herbal or health
food store. Try it and see, it's not that
expensive at all. Goodluck!

Yasmin And Hardly Any Period At All... Posted: 02-03-04 00:25am
I've been taking yasmin for awhile now.
I have no cramps, no weight gain, and only
a one or two zits occasionally. I am
worried about the fact that my cycle has
almost become non-existant. Any help
here?

Bcpills And No Sex Drive. Posted: 02-03-04 16:54pm
I have been on yasmin for about 3 months
now and have noticed that my face and back
are breaking out exetremely bad. I'm
talking first hitting puberty bad. I have been on
some form of pills since I was 16, so for
almost 9 years. I went to my doctor back
in november and told her my sex drive was
dwindeling and wondered what I could do.
She told me that any form of birth control
will most likely lower your sex drive
because of the hormones, but she switched
me to the yasmin anyway. She said it
helps some women with loosing weight
(water weight) and since it was a lower
dose it may help w/sex drive. I have
lost no weight due to the new pill (
haven't gained though either), sex drive
is about the same and as I said before,
break out are very bad. Thinking of
switching back.
