Common Questions and Answers about Yasmin and diane

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?
I gain weight very easily usually and struggle to maintain it off, but Yasmin never caused any problems in this respect, I'd say on the contrary. Spironolactone which is used to treat hirsutism or hair loss is a diuretic, and therefore it will actually help you not to retain water (I have this problem). These are the most common approaches and none of these will lead to weight gain.
I've been taking birth control for about four years, maybe take a few months. I'd do your research and talk it over with your doctor. I can't remember if my friend was on Yaz or Yasmine (both are in commercials, so it's hard to remember), and she had some pretty scary stuff happen after getting off it.
Hello, the only two pills I tried were Yasmin (I am currently still on it and have been on it for 3 years) and Diane 35. I feel absolutely fine with Yasmin! I was so scared when I began to take it (esp. since my doc said I will have to take it forever), but I really feel much better with it than without it. I never gained weight from it either. And I didn't feel anything when I began taking it. Maybe your symptoms are caused by the change you made from Estelle to Yasmin?
Since the begining i ve been sufferin only from irregular periods and i didnt know much about this problem and the doctors didnt really explain it to me.Now i am on diane 35 but i have a lot of facial hair, on the legs....everywhere...do not mention obessity,high blood preasure.....i am really scared i caN not really handle this problem....i am not married but one day i probably will and i would love to have a child....but i am so disappointed when i think what is going on with me....
but it did not work to quit. I was yasmin for awhile then i had mirena put in that is a dui, and then i had that removed due to yeast infections and then i switched to a pill called loestrin24 for awhile. then last summer i quit it all and wanted to see if my head pains went away in the sides of my heads and a foggy feeling in my head, burning type feeling and tingles and such. but nothing changed.
With all the commercials you see on TV about YAZ and Yasmin and all the problems it has caused, i cant imagine that the positives out weigh the negatives. Currently I am on Levlen birth control, it has the minimum amount of estrogen and it works wonderful! But because everyone is different, i would suggest doing some research on birth control types and find whats best for her, then talk to a doctor about those types you have looked over.
Good Luck!
Im on Yasmin. It helps to regulate my period each month, also helps to protect me against pregnancy at this point too. Yasmin is the only pill I've been on, so I don't know much about Ortho.
I am 19 and I have the same problem i was on yasmin and blood pressure went high stopped b.c. all together for around 8 months recently got back on it about 3months ago and my blood pressure is around 156/130...I am wondering the same thing perhaps is there any bc that will not make blood pressure high???

I just started Yasmin for acne, having previously taken Microgynon with no issues. I've only taken Yasmin for about 2 weeks, but I've noticed it seems to be really affecting me. I feel so fatigued, low, lacking motivation and just generally flat. So strange.
hi,
I'm currently on Yasmin, to control my heavy periods. I've been on the pill for about a year and a half. Recently I'm becoming more and more irritated, anxious and angry. Last week I had an "episode" ( not sure what else to call it) but I completely freaked out. Now I am only 21. Basically what happened was I couldn't find the car key, and I kept calling my mother but she wouldn't answer her cellphone.
I am also off depo for 14 months now. My dr put me on yasmin for 2 months to regulate my cycle because I didn't have a period. So I have been off yasmin for 7 months now and I have been on and off clomid the past 6 months and it didn't work. Is it possible that the depo shot is causing me not to get pregnant? How long does it actualy take to work out of your system? I've only used it once.
Hie... im so worried. I was taking Diane 35 for 18 days which mean 18 tablets and then only got to know that im pregnant on the 19th days.. I went to consult with my O&G and he advise me to do D&C. He said DIANE 35 can cause abnormilities to the fetus and the best thing is to do D&C. im so sad, i want to keep this baby. What is your advise....
So I hear (and I have also read) that yasmin is AWESOME for women with PCOS.. Any comments? I am about to switch from alesse to yasmin but I am nervous because there have been many birth control pills that give me uncontrollable mood swings, anxiety and depression. Alesse has been okay for me, not the best, but ok. Does anyone else experience this when they take birth control pills? I think that it is related very closely to PCOS.
i just began taking yasmin today (never taken birth control before). so just now i began doing my research on yasmin, and it seems that the side effects are crazy! i cant say anything because this is only my day. i know pills work differently for everyone but i am really quite scared. what should i do? anyone have any good stories about yasmin??
Also I tried probably 3 or 4 different BCPs before I started Yasmin and all the others didnt help and they didnt make me feel like myself I felt tired and emotional all the time..Yasmin was perfect..
Oh yeah and I dont get a period without BC but Yasmin gave me one each month...I could count on when I would get it to the hour..
Greetings. My fiancee (38) is coming from Philippines in two weeks. We are thinking of her getting on birth control so it starts taking effect before she comes to America. May not have enough time to find someone and spend hundreds of dollars for her to get a doctor's prescription for birth control (nor do we have hundreds of dollars) before we marry. I have limited medical insurance, and probably not able to get her on some until marriage (for paperwork sake).
I take Marvelon21 and have since my surgery 4yrs ago. I am wondering if its the ingredients in the yasmin that could be doing it besides the progestin and estrogen? Where you taking it continuously with the yasmin 21 or the 28 day?
MARVELON21 contains the below ingredients
Each white, round tablet contains desogestrel 0.15 mg and ethinyl estradiol 0.03 mg.
Greetings everyone, I need your help and input if you will
My friend has PCOS and has to use birth control pills to handle her problem with her period (if she stop taking the pills she won't have her period), she have a healthy diet and exercise yet the side effect of the pills are just so not right, border on depression, she doesn't feel like talking with anyone and the mere though of engaging in a conversion saps here energy, not always but it is there for long periods of time
So wha

I've bin taking Yasmin for over a year and planning to fall pregnant early next year ( before March), How soon can I stop taking them?
i took yasmin for nearly one year then stopped(my periods were regular while taking yasmin), got pregnant after 2months of stopping yasmin, but unfortunately it was ectopic and so i lost it. i would advice you to be careful once you stop yasmin.
Also i was taking caltrate(vitaminD+calcium) tablets once a day.
Hello ladies,
I am new to this forum. I was diagnosed with PCOS at the age of 19. I'll be 33 next month. I've suffered from severe acne, cysts, abnormal periods and major mood swings. I've had 3 laproscopies and I've been on Yasmin for over 8 years. I have to say, of the 5 or 6 different bc pills I've taken, I found Yasmin to be the best. It really curbed my acne a great deal. Also, I had no cysts. On some of the other bc pills, I still developed cystic ovaries.
