Hi Everyone,

I've been taking Yasmin for about 6 months now, with no significant side effects. Today I started bleeding, almost a week before I'm done with my monthly pack. I checked out the info in the FAQ section below and noticed a line about women doing low-carb diets experiencing irregular bleeding. I started doing a low carb diet about 3 weeks ago and for the first few weeks I was really limiting my carbs (I'm easing up now, I don't really need to lose much more weight). Everything else has been the same. So, if my low carb eating has done this, does anyone know WHY it happens?? Any personal experiences with this?

THANKS!!!!
Mary

Hi Jill,

Thanks for your response. We'll see what happens during my next cycle. I've also noticed that my face has started breaking out over the last few days. I'm a hormonal mess!

Thanks again,
Mary
