Worried! advice please! Birth control?

Question

OK I am currently on Yasmin 28...Ive been on it for about 4 yrs in total with one 4 month break in between. Im also 24. I am a little overweight not extremely unhealthy and I get 20-30 minutes of excersize a day. I just quit smoking about 1 and a half months ago. I am a little worried about the possible side effects that I JUST noticed. Thrombosis..cardiovascular...etc... I always thought that it was only increased due to smoking..Am I over reacting to be worrying about the chance that I will get one of them?? I am considering getting off the BC pills and switching to Diagphram. I don't know. I just dont want to be one of those people. Any advice? And also has any of you ladies tried the diagphram? How is it? Is it awkward at all? And do you like it? Thanks guys!

Answer 1

i was on yasmin for several yrs and i stopped taking it for that reason also....and one plus side to that was i had a small weight problem also and i immediately lost 20 pounds after discontinuing the bc!!! =) you should ask your doctor what the options out there are and they should have a whole list my doctor told me i should try an iud but my husband and i wanted another baby so i never did but atleast with that you def. wont feel it!!
