Q: Yasmine - Bc Pill

I've been on this pill for not even a month and I'm experiencing some problems. The main thing is that my boobs hurt a lot. Actually it depends, it changes from one day to the next. I mean one day they hurt a lot and the next day they might hurt less but they always hurt. But only when i touch them. But I know its not their normal condition cause it started since I went on the pill. And there's also some hardness in them... like as if there's something hard inside which is growing. I'm just wondering if this is really cause of the pill or maybe its something else. Also, and this is something my bf is complaining about mostly, i apparently am really low tempered and get pissed off all the time for the smallest thing and am emotionally instable.. is this coz of yasmine too? Hopefully someone who's also been on this pill can help me...I just want some feedback and help. Anything is appreciated.. thank u

The breast tenderness is most probably due to the pill, since the pill mimcs pregnancy, thus preventing you from ovulating.
The temper is also due to the pill; as some women become irritable during pregnancy. These are similar to pms symptoms.
Sounds like you got the bad end of the stick as far as adverse side-affects due to homormonal birth contorl. However, these symptoms may clear up after three or so months.

I'm taking yasmin too and I'm almost done my first month. The first couple of days I noticed that my nipples were really sensitive but that went away a couple days later. The one thing that has changed is my appetite. I don't eat as much as I used to..

it may not happen immediately; it didn't happen for me. Also, bcps of any kind may reduce your flow... but not necessarily!

Same Here

I was taking Yasmin for a year. It was prescribed to me to regulate my period, which it did, but the side effects were terrible. Not sure about breast sensitivity, but I had horrible mood swings and completely lost my sex drive. For two out of four weeks on Yasmin in each cycle, I was a moody b-ch. Also, I developed a chronic yeast infection, which started during my first month on Yasmin. It took me a year to realize that all these side effects were due to taking the pill (initially I thought that I just was depressed). I went off the pill 6 weeks ago and got my sex drive back depression symptoms went away.
