I am just over a week into my fourth packet of Yasmin. First two months were OK. Last month started to have occasional leg cramps, feeling tired, stomach bloated, sore breasts, very little interest in sex, mood swings and bouts of nausea (nausea used to be just after taking pill every day now it comes and goes all day. Only had slight brownish discharge for a couple of days on last week of non-active pills. Pregnancy test negative. Thinking of changing to a lower dose pill (20). Can anyone offer advice?

Hi

It sounds just like me when I was on the pill. Plus my toes went hairy! Eek.

Are all the side effects you're having (called contra-indications) listed in the booklet with your pills? I tried 3 different types/brands before I found the right methid of contraception for me. I seriously recommend going back to the doctor that prescribed this pill and talking to him/her. There are alternatives, you don't have to suffer like this! Poor you. Good luck getting it sorted out.
