Yasmin pill and migraine with aura

Has been really helpful for my moods as i would get bad pms, i feel a lot more stable through the months. i gained a lot of weight at one point but then lost it. my boobs consistently got bigger, at certain times in the month they are very very tender. i had lost my sex drive for a few months when i first started but it then came back, but i was really not eager for anything for ages. It’s helped my back and chest acne, and my face is better but has flare ups. I get a period every 3 months but it lasts like 14 days but not that heavy.

I was on this pill for just over 5 years and LOVED it! I had no issues with it from the start - regular five day cramp free periods during my pill free week and clearer skin after about three months. It did make me slightly more anxious and aggressive but the positive side effects outweighed these issues. I only came off it because I had a migraine with aura.

I was on yasmin for six months after which I decided to stop taking it. Within one month I had to change all my wardrobe due to bloating, it affected my mental health deeply, the only positive outcome was that while I was on the pill my skin cleared up entirely. I had no pimples, no blackheads, oil was under control, bare in mind I have severe acne.
