I have a few questions on behalf of Jonathan Morris40: He’s wondering why he experiences these uncontrollable tremors right before bed? It feels like all his energy is being wasted because some muscle in his body is constantly twitching. What are the treatment options? Are there specific medications or pills that can help stabilize his mental clarity and overall state of consciousness? He mentioned that he doesn't feel like himself—in fact, everything just feels much worse lately...
Nathan Baker said:Personally, I can't help but feel there's a crack in this narrative somewhere. And just like you, I find it impossible to believe that a mature, responsible woman wouldn't have sought medical attention within a five-month window. Something just doesn't add up.
Are you even reading his posts??? Can't you see he’s already mentioned a couple of times that she went to the OB-GYN??
Kate James21, just go out there and see what she has to say. Once you figure out exactly what’s going on, you can start handling things step by step. Good luck! 😉
That seems totally normal to me. Even though my partner says he’s perfectly fine with it and it doesn't bother him at all, I still find it a bit unsettling...

I haven't touched any pills lately. Honestly, up until this point, I was always gaining weight like crazy—just ballooning out of nowhere—but this is actually the first time it's happened to me. And the kicker? I only started taking them because my cycles were becoming an absolute disaster.
I'm not quite sure what the reason could be then... Could it be the change in climate? Though I'm not certain how much that matters if you're on the pill... It didn't seem to affect me.
Peter Gray2 said:Hey, I really need some help here. I’ve been on Yasmin for a super long time now and I’m actually almost at the end of my pack—only about 5 pills left—but today out of nowhere, I had some breakthrough bleeding. This has absolutely never happened to me before, and looking back at the blister pack, I definitely haven't missed a single pill. I have no idea what could be causing this. 😢 Obviously, I'm totally freaking out because my boyfriend and I rely on this as our only form of protection. 😢
How accurate is that "really, really long" estimate? And what were those previous cycles like for you?
Are you taking any other medications alongside Yasmin right now? I ask because certain drugs can interfere with how Yasmin works, which might lead to some unexpected spotting or bleeding...
Honestly, I have no idea what the reason could be. I’ve been on Yasmin for two and a half years now, and my cycle has become perfectly regular—hitting on the exact same day every single month. It’s wild because before I started taking the pill, my cycle was incredibly irregular...
slymarlin27 said:Hey ladies, Does anyone actually know how much Diane 35 is going for right now? I just asked at the local CVS and they told me $140?? Like, for multiple packs?? It makes zero sense to me that they’d be more expensive than Yasmin...
I can't believe it's that high. It’s probably for a multi-pack. Though, if your doctor prescribes them, you shouldn't have to pay out of pocket.
briskstag13 said:Well, the symptoms started and stopped right around when I began using them, so I just made the connection.
I honestly wouldn't know. I was on Yasmin for about two years before stopping just last month... I never really experienced any side effects. There was a period where I had some pretty intense headaches, but I didn't link them back to the birth control at the time... Still, anything is possible. Maybe it's worth checking in with a gynecologist? It definitely wouldn't hurt to be safe.
Jamie Davis17 said:So, what I’m actually talking about here is just dried wheatgrass, which you basically mix with some water and sip on a few times throughout the day.
I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think that's quite right... Thanks anyway!
I've heard endless talk about all these different natural immunity boosters lately. Honestly, I’m not really looking for any of that right now, so please, spare me the suggestions. 🙂
Here’s the thing: there is this specific blend. It’s light-colored and gets a bit cloudy when you mix three small scoops with water (and apparently, you MUST use a plastic spoon—no metal allowed!). You take it three times a day for three months. To be honest, the drink looks exactly like Kraft powder.
From what I’ve gathered, it costs about $83 a pound and you can only find it in Chicago.
So, here is my actual question: If a supplement like this actually exists, does anyone know the name?
Because if it doesn't, then someone is seriously messing with my head. 🙄
Honestly, I have no idea why this thread was locked. I just wanted to jump in, offer some help, and share a few tips, but now I'm stuck on the sidelines.
Maybe someone can clarify what happened, or ideally, just reopen it. ☕
Jonathan Barnes7 said:I've been seeing this guy for a while now. Our situation is a little complicated if I'm being honest, but that's just how it is. He knows I'm on the pill—there isn't any other birth control involved here. We trust each other, but even so, he hasn't finished inside me yet, which honestly works for both of us.
But during sex the last time, he dropped this incredibly weird question on me and I have no clue how to take it. So I'm asking you all—how would you interpret this?
Right in the middle of things—he stops—and asks me, "Are you still on the pill?" I insisted he tell me why he was even asking, but he wouldn't. Instead, he just gave me this smug, joking look and said, "Haha, don't try to trap me." He's got all sorts of weird quirks, so I wasn't totally shocked, okay? It was clearly meant as a joke. But once we were done and he hugged me, I was genuinely offended by what he said and the fact that he'd even ask that mid-act. I asked him again what he meant by that. He didn't give me a straight answer; he just held me and told me not to take it personally because he didn't mean anything bad by it. He gave me this playful look right before... so yeah, someone please tell me how I'm supposed to feel about this.
It wasn't meant to be negative, aside from that annoying little jab he made. I reacted pretty strongly, telling him I'm not stupid enough to try and trap him like that, if that's even possible. I mean, he's with me. He's older. We're both at an age where things matter. I'm finishing up college, and honestly, he's long past the age of rushing to get married. But we haven't talked about that kind of stuff because we haven't even officially defined what this is. Our relationship is... vague. He's still afraid of commitment, so we're taking it slow. We aren't seeing anyone else, but we aren't "public" yet either.
Exactly. If he's afraid of getting attached, it makes total sense why he wouldn't want kids—they represent the ultimate commitment.
You weren't cheating on him—he was cheating on you. I don't see where he gets the nerve to lecture you when he's guilty of the exact same thing.
One thing just doesn't make sense to me, though. He actually asked you if she was "good enough" for him? Where is the logic in that? What kind of conversations are you two even having?
Girl, just walk away from him without saying a single word...
Based on everything you've shared here, I can tell you're smart, and I know you won't want anything more to do with him. You truly don't need someone like that in your life.
So, here’s the deal... I’ve been on Yasmin for five months now, and up until this point, my period has always shown up on the fourth day of the break. That’s exactly how it went this time, too. It started last Thursday, but since last night and through all of today, there hasn't been any spotting at all. Not even a single drop. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
In case anyone thinks this part matters—I did have sex with my boyfriend last night, and we didn't use a condom...
So, here’s the situation... A friend of mine dropped by yesterday saying her stomach pain is absolutely unreal. It’s not even that typical menstrual cramping either; she feels like everything inside is just being turned inside out. To quote her: "I feel like my intestines are literally falling apart." 😲 Anyway, she was asking me if there could be any connection to birth control. She had been on Yasmin for about two or three months, took a break for a month or two, and then started taking Loestrin this past Saturday. Now she's wondering if these pains could be linked to the pills. I wasn't really sure how to answer since I've been on Yasmin for three months now and haven't had any issues at all... 🤷
Thomas Roberts9: It’s always interesting to see how everyone approaches these discussions. Every perspective adds a different layer to the conversation, wouldn't you agree? It makes the whole experience much more engaging. kaže: Did she actually read the side effects on the label? Maybe there’s something mentioned in there. Or maybe it just doesn't sit right with her, like how Yasmin does. 🤷 I won't react—I'm organizing this for every single dose.
I know she might not react the same way, but she's really wondering if this is coming from the Logest. Is it actually possible for those symptoms to show up that quickly? She’s only been taking it for five days...
