Yasmin?

[amy-28]

Has any one been on Yasmin contraceptive for the endo i was advised to go on this today? Just wondering if anyone else uses it.

Thanks

I tried it but it made me quite angry so I stopped but pills in general aren't great for me, just something to be aware of I guess

I highly do NOT recommend this Pill!!! I took this before Endo and and Pre Inflammatory Bowel disease, THIS GAVE ME ULCERATIVE COLITIS: ( please dont xx

oh really i think i will just go and see what other options there are as hearing mixed things about this, i'm sorry you've had such a bad experience with it did you find a different pill helped?

I am on yaz. Not sure if there is a difference but I like it. I experience breakthrough bleeding and mood swings though

They are two different pills - Yas and Yasmin.... Not great really for patients as it's confusing!

Went today to get it asked about others but dr said i needed to be on the one as stinger to help with the cysts?

I used to take Yasmin. And for me it was the best pill I have been on.

I didn't get any side effects at all. No break through bleeding, or skin issues. (although my sex drive disappeared!). I was originally tri-cycling it.

And I also had endometrioma cysts BEFORE going on Yasmin. All the time I was taking the pill the cysts didn't cause me trouble. It was only when I had a break that I experienced the usual pain.

Thats great hopefully it will be the same for me! will try anything to stop this cysts!

I am on Yasmin too, and have been fine with it. No skin issues or breakthrough bleeding with tricycling. Would recommend compared to the others I have tried before.

Thanks got it today!

I recently tried Yasmin for my awful periods. I took it for nine days and it was horrid. I had terrible stomach upset, my boobs were sore and swollen (my bra was leaving red marks on me as they swelled up that much) and I was an absolute emotional wreck - one night, I sat on the sofa crying my eyes out over absolutely nothing. Decided to stop, informed my doctor and she has requested laparoscopy - I take mefanamic acid, tranexamic acid +/- ibuprofen and buscopan for my period pains and hormone treatment doesn't agree with me (the only one that I get on with is Dianette which is high risk because of liver tumours) so surgical option is next.

Everyone is different with pills but my only advice would be not to persevere if you start to not feel yourself. Good luck!
