Avatar f tn Well Ocella is the generic for Yasmin. I was taking Yasmin for 2 years, when last month I was given Ocella. Well I wasn;t too thrilled with it, as I had cramps for 5 days plus I started my period 1 day late. They say generic is always the same, but for me I felt a difference. It could be from the pill. Your body needs to adjust being on it. Side affects should lessen by the third month.
Avatar f tn She would take Tylenol, and eventually the headache would go away. At the time we did not make the relation between headaches and birth control pills. One particular day she complained of a headache, pain in her right shoulder/arm, blurry vision in her right eye, and she couldn't remember certain things that normally she remembered. After taking Tylenol and sleeping a few hours, she woke up, still didn't feel right and laid back down.
Avatar n tn Although they claim to not have any difference, I was on Yasmin (brand name) for a while and then was switched too Ocella (Generic) and I did notice slight changes in my period. In fact, I never missed a single period on Yasmin, but did miss one while on Ocella. The blue veins, I mean if your fair skin like me, I notice the veins all the time. Sometimes they are bluer then normal, but you can't always go by that being a symptom of pregnancy.
Avatar n tn But I thought I would ask, is anyone that has PCOS symptoms (high testosterone, insulin resistance) and on BCP on any other BCP besides Yasmin, and does it control PCOS symptoms? Have you seen any side effects?

Avatar f tn I am currently on Ocella (generic for Yasmin), I have been on it for almost a month, I start the inactive pills tomorrow night. Before I took Ocella, I was taking Yaz(and I switched immediatly). My last period lasted for 3-4 days. I should start my period on March 11th. Yesterday I had light pinkish/red blood when I wiped and some cramping and now I am having light brown discharge that is odorless. I have not missed any pills, and I do have unprotected sex.

Avatar f tn Two weeks after stopping it I had bleeding before my period and three weeks later I was pregnant. I had the same type of symptoms. Is yasmin the bc that was recalled? I would take a test. When is your next expected period? Wait until then to take it. Do you have small bumps on your nipples? That is a sign of pregnancy and it usual goes along with the sore nipples. Is always good to take a test. You don't want to take it too early though.
Avatar f tn ] When I was a senior in high school I went on Yasmin because I had heard so much about it and my gyno gave me a few samples to try. Well I did try it and LOVED it and stayed on it for about 2 years until my gyno's nurse suggested I try Yaz. She said it was about the same thing and I get shorter periods.
Avatar f tn Did you make sure to give the pills (when you tried both ocella and lybrel) a few cycles to work? I know it's annoying, and in the mean time you have a life to contend with... But sometimes it takes a while for these things to work. It's weird that ocella (generic Yasmin, I think) would make you bleed, because that is usually one they give to women who have problems with breakthrough bleeding. How long did you try it before you quit?
Avatar f tn Any birth control pill, well any birth control that has hormones in it can cause blood clots. But they are normally only risk for those who have a family history of clots, or who have suffered from clots before. I've never been on Yaz and the only birth control pills I have ever taken was/is Yasmin. No they are not the same. Yasmin or Ocella is a lower dose of birth conrtol, while Yaz is prescribed more often to those who suffer from PMDD (Premenstrual dysphoric disorder).
Avatar f tn I was still worried so i took 2 Yasmin combination pill on day 5 and 2 Yasmin pills on day 6. I did not take the pill after that. Ever since I have had heart burn and stomach ache, belching and pain between the shoulders. Today, day 13 of my cycle, i am bleeding, infact heavier than day 1 of my periods. The discharge is fresh bright red with mucous. I have never had mid cycle bleeding before. What is causing this?? Its not pregnancy or implantation bleeding, is it??
Avatar f tn could there be a correlation between eno and migraine frequency, since I have never really had any symptoms anyway, how can I be sure that has returned or not?
Avatar f tn A week after my withdraw bleed my breasts were still sore and I got really bad nausea and dizziness just at night when I laid down. That turned into diarrhea for two days. Now, my breasts are sore all over and my nipples are tender to touch. Every now and then I get a pinching sensation in my breasts near my nipples. The nausea has been gone for about two days, and the dizziness hasn't been too bad. Could this be pregnancy or is something wrong?
Avatar f tn Has anyone had any bad effects from using Yasmin birth control? I had my iud removed and the dr. put me on yasmin but before i start taking them i just wanted some feedback... thank you...
Avatar f tn But now she stopped Aldactone and gave me Birth Control Pill ( Ocella, its generic of Yasmin). But How long can I take this BCP I am not sure. My period are always been so frequent since they started ( in the age of 13). Recently my doc took vaginal and abdominal ultrasound. She found that I have Poly cystic ovaries. But she told me that I don't have PCOS as my periods are very frequent. My doc took all the test. First they took my blood sample, and then gave me a injuction of Cortrosyn.
197575 tn?1215532624 Is there a difference between a complex nodule and a complex cystic nodule? I know complex means both solid and cystic. My friend's ultrasound call it a complex cystic nodule. Thanks.
456874 tn?1218139741 Ive been taking the generic form for a while now, and there isn't any difference. To be honest, when you get your pill box, it still says Yasmin and there is no change with the color of the pills or anything. I haven't seen any change from taking the brand or the generic.
Avatar f tn I had suffered from these migraines before for years and it they only get bad when im on certain bc pills. I saw my PC doctor on tuesday and asked just to be on yasmin for the next few months just b/c of the situation and so I started taking the generic ocella yesterday. I hope it straightens **** out. Anyway, what I want ot know is ,"Can your symptoms of your mentrual period worsen b/c you just detoxed off the stongest pain medicine there is?
Avatar m tn I was wondering if switching birth control pills could have helped maximize the anxiety. I switched from yaz to ocella and have only been on ocella for a few months and the anxiety started like a month ago.
Avatar f tn Hello, I've recently started taking Yasmin as birth control (I am on my first pack and 3rd week). I've taken Diane 35 in the past before, but I've taken a break between the two pills. I've been experiencing bleeding and thick black discharge but I am not on my period. Is this normal? It looks worrying to me. I am also currently taking roaccutane 20mg a day. Should I continue taking Yasmin or stop mid cycle?
Avatar n tn My periods were lighter the first few years with Yasmin, but after that there is no difference than regular periods; my periods are sometimes lighter, sometimes heavier... It depends. But, when you are taking birth control your body and the whole menstruation process is not natural, because is controlled by the pills, so it reflects on your organism (phisically), but also on the mood etc.
704655 tn?1228685706 I have experienced PCOS symptoms for over 14 years and was never diagnosed until recently. I was prescribed Yasmin in November and I have noticed a significant difference with the hyperpigmentation that I was also experiencing. I am also using bleaching/lightening products to rid myself of the hyperpigmentation caused by the out of control hormones. I believe that the combination of Yasmin and the lightening products are FINALLY working together.
Avatar f tn I have been on Ocella for the past 10 months. I'm finding that the past few months I am consistently anxious and depressed. I am concerned that it could be the birth control that I am on. I would like to know if there are any b.c. pills that limit this side effect. I also find that my libido is less strong. All of these symptoms are affecting my relationship. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn They were prescribed to me after a lap in wich my right ovary was removed because of tumor, chocolate cysts, endometriosis and blood tickening. Because my left ovary was (and is) problematic (endo, c. cysts) Yasmin was prescribed to me in order to keep my ovary "in controll". Since than my periods are lighter and I don't have awful menstrual pains like I used to before the procedure and BCP.
Avatar f tn m hoping that this is due to me changing back to Yasmin and that it will all settle down and fall back into sync soon!
