Yasmin Birth Control

[CollegeGirl6]

I have been taking Yasmin for almost a year. I stopped then I started back. Anyways, I stopped because I was feeling depressed, tired, had thick nasty discharge, and my calf was starting to hurt. I decided to try it again, and now I am again, depressed, tired, nasty discharge. Can any of you give me some suggestions, I am going to make an appointment with my doctor to see what alternatives there are. I do not want to gain any weight, so hopefully there is something better out there.

See any of the threads on side-effects of the pill. You are introducing an additional shot of hormones and they will affect you. It is common for women to try two or three pills until they get one they can live with.

Consider the ring. It puts less hormone into the system and my patients have had almost no problems with it.
