yasmin side effects weight

I have been suffering with severe endometriosis since I was 16 years old. It's been 6 or more years and I am still going through the same stuff. I am on progesterone (for almost a year) and it's stopping the menstrual cycle and stopping more endo from growing, which is what we want, but it's also causing so many horrible side effects! Like hair loss; weight gain; depression; hot flashes; etc. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Im not vomiting any more but still am nausious. Its been a month since then. Can the side effects last this long or is there another reason for the nausea?

Aren't such side-effects as abdominal cramps have been reported for Yasmin? As I have found them in the drugs description.

Just wondering if anybody has taken syeda for birth control,and if you experienced any unwanted side effects.Nausea,weight loss/gain?My daughter is now taking this,and wanted to know about any side effects that anybody has experienced .

She has had breast tenderness, very moody, break through bleeding, low sex drive. I undrstand these are all side effects of that pill. You can e-mail me at rocky1977_98***@**** to chat more. Would love to compare notes. Did you have breakthrough bleeding?

with the Ortho it took me 4months to get over the side effects. took it for 6 months before TTCin n it wasn't so bad. as for the Yasmin, it gave me horrible migraines and I kept on vomiting every time I took it. if ur sure about the Yasmin pills then I'd recommend that u wait until u finish ur ortho first to avoid unnecessary bleeding. Good luck!

Hi Mils86, I'm extremely familiar with Yasmin and it's post-side-effects. I was on the pill for 7 years before I decided to come off of it and let my body regulate itself out, much like what you're wanting to do. About three months after coming off of the pill, my cycles were highly irregular and I experienced similar symptoms to what you're describing.

I've always had good luck with Yaz and Yasmin. Yaz has fewer side effects and most people can tolerate it and it works. However- everyone's body is different, and until they get the hormone balance right, you could have spotting, etc. I can say, that most likely- there is a pill out there that you could tolerate. Good luck.

I've personally never been on Yasmin, but I have heard from other women about the side effects they experience. They almost always end up switching to another brand.

Breast tenderness; bleeding or spotting between menstrual periods; nausea; stomach cramps or bloating; vomiting; weight gain i have also heard that pco's may cause spotting so i guess i could be a sing of the yasmin, the pco's or pregnancy. just to be sure you should do a pregnancy test and if you are pregnant or not you should visit your DR.

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??

I too am on Yasmin, but never had any problems while taking them. I was told that Yasmin bc is the best choice given to those with acne problems and pcos. It's a mild dose of bc. Try to give yourself 3 months to regulate it in your body. Consult your doctor if you have serious side affects. Are you taking any other meds for your pcos? I'm also on Metformin for weight issues. I started my journey in September 2008 at 333lbs and I am now at 272lbs.

Before this I was on the depo shot. But it was causing me to gain weight. So my doctor switched me. And so i dont know the side effects very well for this pill. But i did hear that this pill was supposed to "regulate" your period. Thats why Im asking(: Any answers are very much appreciated!

what is the side affect of polycystic ovaries after treatment? weight gain possible after treatment?

Hi everyone, I was diagnosed with endo 6 months back and was operated on immediately. The gyne later commented i had stage 4 endo which was very sever at my age (I'm 26 this year). Subsequently, i was given Decapeptyl for 3 consecutive months, stopped for 3 months and now starting to take Yasmin..I've read about the side effects of Yasmin but there seems to be few people taking Yasmin to help with endometriosis..can anyone advise?

I was on the pill and had side effects from yasmin but tricyclin was ok and alesse was good too. I cant remember to take tehm daily so Im switching to the ring and see how that goes.

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...

Hi. I had endometriosis on both ovaries and tumor on my right ovary and 10 cm chocolate cyst. I had lap done (at the age of 19) and my right ovary was removed. Since than I was taking Yasmin pills (they are ok, because there aren't any unpleasent and serious side effects). But, because I have problems on my left ovary, too I had to do another lap, but I didn't want to, so I went to a puncture (they sucked the cysts and the blood).

Birth control can sometimes cause weight gain...but not every woman is the same. I never had weight gain with Yasmin. Sleepiness is not a side affect of metformin. And also, not every woman who has PCOS has diabetes. As far has the birth control, it did lighten my period and made it shorter as well. I never had breakthrough bleeding with it. My body reacts to medications very well...I've never had any bad side affects from anything I took.

I have heard about Yaz and Yasmin causing more of a risk for blood clots in women....BUT (yes there is a but) almost all birth control pills can cause blood clots especialy if you have had them before, or have had a family history of them. If your nurse wants you to switch to a genric then you can still take Yasmin (but it would be Ocella). It's the same thing.

This is because birth control hormones are the hormone therapy that is least likely to cause bad side effects. For this reason, they can be used for years, while other hormone therapies can only be used for several months to two years. Birth control pills can also be used to stop or further slow endometriosis growths after endometriosis surgery. Like all hormone therapies and surgery, birth control hormones do not cure endometriosis.

However, I have read about terrible side effects from people that stopped, too. Anyone have experiences to share?
