    Default skipping period on the pill... pain?

    hey
    this may sound like too much information and im sorry but yeah its the first time im skipping a period with yasmin [contraceptive pill] since i started taking it a year or two ago.
    since taking a new row of active tablets i feel pain and burning when i pee.
    it surfaced out of nowhere. im in a steady one year relationship and get tested between each partner so i highly doubt it would be an std symptom.

    is this normal? does this happen to anyone?

    id love for it to go away...

    Sounds an awful lot like a UTI. Maybe that's what happens to your body when you use Yasmin to control your period?

    I've used Yasmin a couple times to control my period, but I find I bleed through it a little and I still can't work with even a little blood. I really like Alesse for period control, it seems to work for me.

    i didn't have pain, but i did feel icky and have a gross discharge that worried me. thought it was an sti. nope, not an sti. i was hoping it would work better once i've been on birth control a while, but now that i read your post, i'm guessing it wouldn't. bummer.

    i guess some people just can't handle the non-stop extra estrogen. gotta take a break.

    if you're able/open to having a progestin only pill, you should be able to skip your periods on that.

    Sounds like a urinary tract infection i had one not long ago and my period was late i think because my body was stressed with uti lol (im on the pill aswell but i dont think that had anything to do with it)go doctors they will give u anti biotics uti's are the most annoying thing but even if its not that its best to see a doctor to know whats up

    I third the UTI diagnosis. I've skipped lots of periods with the pill, and never had side effects like that. I actually don't think I had any side effects when I did it.

    It comes from an infection in your urinary tract: judging from your symptoms, in your urethra. It causes pain and burning on urination, and makes you constantly feel like you have to pee, even if you just went or can only trickle out three or four drops.

    I get them from having a lot of sex You can drink cranberry juice (not cranberry cocktail!) to help clear your urinary tract, and chugging a few liters of water before bed usually helps me have to pee and actually get it out, so I can get a few hours of sleep. Make sure you see your doctor ASAP for short-term antibiotics, UTIs can become more severe kidney infections if you ignore them (I've done that too :*().

    Good luck!

    I may have misunderstood, so bare with me, but you're drinking the antibiotics? I've only ever gotten them in pill form... How does that work, is it any faster?

    If you haven't gotten any medication, please go! I left my first UTI (I was 18 at the time, had no idea what a UTI was, and was a little lazy) and never got treatment: it progressed into a kidney infection after it was mistaken for an ovarian cyst and potentially appendicitis. I had back/kidney pain for weeks, if you haven't gone please learn from my stupidity.

    Your symptoms (constant needing to pee and burning when you do) are most likely a UTI.

    You should go to a doc and get it checked to be sure.

    I take BC pills year round without a break for a period. I did it for 2 years straight about 3 years ago with no problem, then stopped the pill for a while. I recently started the pill again and am on month 3 now with no period. I haven't had any problems doing this, other than a major estrogen withdrawal headache when I stopped the pill.

    Not sure if anyone mentioned this

    But I agree on the UTI. I doubt it has much to do w/ the pill.. But drink lots of cranberry juice or take the tablet... I prefer juice. I did that when I had an UTI. I mean really.. felt like I had to piss every 5 mins.. nothig would come out, or a little drop. I was thinking "Wtf is wrong" And it hurt at a few times too on the lower part of the tummy. I drank cranberry (unsweeten) 2 days straight and it was gone! GL!

    Cranberry pills are even better than cranberry juice because they're ultra concentrated.

    also sounds like a uti. best to get to the doctor for antibiotics before it moves into your kidneys
