Yasmine Birth Control Pills? - Birth Control Message Board

My gyn prescribed Yasmine for me but I do not like the side affects that I read . I wear contacts and it says that it may cause problems when wearing contacts and blood clots behind the eyes. Has anyone been on this yasmine pill and if so what side effects did you have if any?

I think all birth control pills, patch and shots list cautions which include blood clots. I've been on Yasmine almost two years with no side effects. I had alot of break-through bleeding while on Ovcon 35....that's why my doctor switched me to Yasmine. Seems like every woman has different experences with each brand of birth control pill. Probably the only why to know is to try it for a while.

I take it and have had no side effects at all, remember these are possible side effects, they effect everyone differantly, and if you have side effects on them then you can easily come off and try another brand.

i was on ovcon for a long time and i had a lot of breakthrough bleeding too... they told me i must not have been taking them right even though i know i was! funny..
but i was also on Yasmine for a while and i had about a zillion issues with it. i was on bc for heavy periods and it made them even heavier and more painful. but like kaycee said you have to try it for yourself!

I am also on Yasmin- switched due to breakthrough bleeding while on Ovcon 35. I haven't had any trouble w/ the pill... from what I've read, it is supposed to healp with mild acne also.
