Yasmin Birth Control - Similar Experience?

[krushing]

This is my first month on Yasmin per the suggestion of my dermatologist due to my acne I've been having.  Before this, I was on loestrin for 5+ years.  I know the loestrin is the lowest does and I did great with it, except for the acne.  I didn't really have cramps and my cycle usually started on Tuesday or Wednesday and by Friday it was gone.  With Yasmin, I had major cramps, HEAVY bleeding (including passing clots) and today is day 6 and it's still here...just now starting to ease up.  Because of this, this past Sunday, I went back to the loestrin.  I can find face cream to help my acne...it's not worth cramps, and long periods, not to mention I was a major WITCH (with a B).  Was this normal with the first month, or is this normal throughout using Yasmin.  Before loestrin 5 years ago I was on Alysse (sp?) and when I switched from that to loestrin I didn't have these kind of problems.  Just curious what everyone else's experience was.  Thanks

I was also on yasmin for about 2 years. I loved it, it didnt make me gain weight like others did. I never had a problem with it, until last june...I got pregnant on it. Probably just a freak accident, but just a FYI!
