I switched from implant to Yasmin, but experienced no change in all the horrible side effects I had from the implant: my body didnt respond to anything sexual even if I was turned on mentally, i gained 15 kilos of weight within only a few weeks without any change to my exercise or eating habits, horrible anger and mood swings, suddenly i had regular anxiety attacks and terrible acne that made me not want to go outside without a thick layer of makeup. Ive cried in the mirror countless times ever since, and the acne didnt go away until I got accutane prescribed.

I have liked nearly everything about this pill! My skin has been lovely, and very light periods with little to no pain. Overall my moods have been slightly lower, however I am not sure if this is necessarily linked to the pill. Only recently have I been experiencing breakthrough bleeding and I will be very upset having to change and start a new form of contraception!

Always make sure you have a proper face to face appointment with your GP or specialist. Due to Covid-19 my GP and the specialist doctor at my local hospital refused to see me for over a year, due to this they put me on several medications. This was to try and help me as i suffer from PCOS. i’ve taken Yasmin for just over a month and i feel awful, I constantly feel nauseous, i have pains in my legs, it has caused me to develop major headaches and migraines which i never had before, i’m constantly tired and have no energy after doing the smallest tasks, loss of appetite, constant stomach and back pain, made me constipated to the point where i had not been to the toilet for almost a week and i was crying in pain, i have now stopped taking this pill because I don’t think it’s right to be given anything without physically seeing a GP or professional face to face plus i’m tired of being ill all the time.
