Yasmin Birth Control & Side Effects

by krushing, Apr 16, 2007 12:00AM
Ok, I have no idea how to put this...but it's just us ladies (most of the time) so here goes...

My dr. recently changed my bc pills from loestrin 24 to Yasmin.  The pro is I've noticed I'm not tired all the time, like before.  Which doesn't sound like a side effect of bc pills, but I haven't changed anything else...so I assumed it was.

The con is it has made me EXTREMELY "sexually interested".  

I know the loestrin is the lowest dose they have and could have had me lacking in that area.  I know there were times that I was not in the mood, etc. and DH was getting frustrated.

I know I shouldn't complain, but is this normal?  Is this just something that starts out with this type of birth control and then will slow down and me become like I was on the other?  I mean, DH & I had/have sex, but I've never been so raring to go...LOL!

I was on Yasmin for quite some time and that was a "side effect" I had once I was acclimated to it.  I stayed that way pretty consistantly, but have been off of it for a couple of months now and still have sexual urges so maybe it's just me hahahaha
