Well, my experience with Yasmin has come to an abrupt ending. I was diagnosed last Wednesday, Apr. 20 with a blood clot in my lung and have been in the hospital on intravenous Heparin. I started Coumadin but my levels aren't high enough for me to go home yet. (My hubby brought my laptop into the hospital for me to use!)

I started having symptoms the week of April 4, and took until the 20th to finally figure out what I had. It all started with a cough, then a pain in my side, shortness of breath, and then coughing up blood.

I took the BCP (Demulen) before from 1992-1997 with no problems, so I never gave it a thought that I would have a problem with it again. Boy was I wrong!

I guess I will have to find some other way to treat hormonal acne!

I was on Yasmin for about three months, and in January I went to the hospital with horrible pain in my right side. I later learned in the hospital that I had puloninary embolisms, (blod clots in the lung) in both lungs. I am currently on warfrin (coumadin) and trying to get my levels stable. Any suggestions?
