Endo & Yasmill pill

[AFC007]

Hey, I’ve just started taking Yasmin in a bid to try and reduce the endometriosis pains and PMDD … so far I’ve been very nauseous with really bad tummy aches … does anyone have any experiences to share on taking Yasmin and whether it helped at all? xx

Hiya, I'm on Yasmin as well. I do get nausea, but I had that before I started the pill so I don't think it's related to the pill. I get some pelvic cramps while I take it, though these have decreased over time. It took at least a year for things to calm down for me, but because I take it to have fewer periods (only 3 per year), the side effects were worth it to me since they're not as bad as my periods. The worst thing for me has been the mood swings - I have never felt so constantly irritated and angry before in my life! I take 3 boxes in a row so by the 3rd box I was a nightmare to be around lol. Unfortunately I think it is a waiting game in terms of the side effects getting better. I wouldn't say I enjoy taking it, but the fact that it prevents my periods for so long is great and I do think it helps me. Good luck with it xx

Thanks so much for replying and telling me how it’s been for you! I’m sorry your mood swings have been so bad - it is the worst. I’m glad it’s helping with your periods though. Hopefully it’ll help! Take care xx

I was on yasmin for about 9 months for my endo - I didn't have any side effects thankfully, but it didn't help my endo either (my main symptom has been constant pain, regardless of if I was on my period). I've just switched to a different pill to see if that helps. I hope you find something that works for you!

hi i have takin jasmin pill years ago and it was great helping with hormonal skin problems. I don’t think its the right pill for your endo which should be a pill without oestrogen , i have been using the mini pill desogestrel for years now and it has really worked stopping my periods therefore all the pain etc that comes alongside side, i did have to take a double as advised by my consultant. Worth a discussion really worked for me, hope you find some relief x

hey ! I was on yasmin for years and I found the nausea did come and go but never really fully went away. I’ve just had surgery, endo removal + the hormonal coil put in and it’s sooo much better. Of course everyone is different but I’m finding the hormonal coil a lot better with little to no side-affects compared to the pill x
