I had a hysterectomy in 1998.....many problems since then and started taking yasmin in january 2003......only been on for 4 months......Very happy. First time with no hot flashes and being able to sleep in 5 years. For me menopause has been a complete nightmare and I wish I would have had another option back then. I am 38 years old and when I had this, I was 33. I feel that it changed every aspect of my life and there was nothing pleasant about it at all.
Yasmin has been a wonderful thing for my body.....I take all active pills and skip the white ones just moving on to the next pack. I am on my 14th week of all active pills and haven't had a hot flash in 3 months......
I did however experience a yeast infection and I am still having a lot of breast tenderness......Enlarged by 2 1/2 cup sizes in the first month and still hasn't gone down at all. (A side effect I don't mind except for the tenderness)....Did you have that???....I don't have to worry about periods because of the hysterectomy, but do have to worry about flares of my lupus. Let me know if you decide to take this again. I also wanted to take it because of the acne problems I was having since the surgery....I think it has helped although not 100%.
