I've been taking this Pill for almost a year now. I have very low sex drive but I guess that's pretty normal with any Pill. What concerns me is the fact I've lost a lot of hair over last year or so. I know that side effects vary from woman to woman but are there many who have lost/are losing hair whilst on this Pill?
I'm just curious as it can be something else, of course, that's causing it.

oh my god! i had this! i took yasmin for 2 years and had a very low sex drive! the pill yasmin is very high on hormones, try a lower dose one. my hair fell out in clumps, the doc told me i had alopecia it was awful i have waist length hair and it went very thin. i was taking yasmin, i dont know if there was any connection. at the time i was very thin so check your not malnuritioned, stress can be the cause of hair loss aswel. take a suppliment such as sea kelp, that will help restore your hair and change pill. i came off yasmin to have a baby and now my hair is thicker than ever and i have a sex drive back! change your pill onto a lower dose and im sure you'll notice a change xx

ive read about people having major health problems on yasmin its actually been banned in th uk i believe. If you are having such symptoms as you describe go and see your doctor immediately especially if you are suffering from headaches that are extremely painful as they can be very serious they can lead to blood clots in the brain. I nearly died from one because of the pill i was on so get it changed to a lower dose one

Go and see you doctor, If I was you I would ask for a change of pill. I don't like the pill and have had the coil for the last year its better than pumping your self full of chemicals.
