Hi, I’ve only just started taking the pill Yasmin today because the hospital want to see if it will help but right now I’m just feeling so sick :(, has anyone else on this pill or has been and can tell me if it worked for them or what there side effects were?

Thank you x

I believe I took Yasmin years ago. In 2005, I was switched to Nortrel 1/35 (norethindrone). It works like a charm. I have been taking it continuously with no breaks. I am still in pain, because it doesn't stop the progression of endo, but not having a period has been a blessing.

I have been on Yasmin it did not help me at all. I tried multiple different birth controls and had no luck until I had the nexplanon put in my arm.

I was told to take it for a year to see if it would help and it did not

Ah really? I got told to take it for 3 months straight, stop for seven days and do another whole 3 months, did you have to do that too?
