I was just discharged from the hospital on Saturday. I had been taking Yasmin for almost two years now and until recently, had no problems. Last Wednesday I went to the ER for severe pain and inability to breath with my left lung. They admitted me after finding a blood clot in the right, as a result of Yasmin! Turns out, I had pneumonia in the left and since I had no symptoms that the clot was there, the pneumonia saved my life! I too had to take those fun Lovenox shots in the stomach and now I'm on Coumadin for 6 months. I am 29 years old, never smoked a day in my life. I do not drink, I am a healthy weight and I work out regularly. I do not have a history of blood clots in the family. How could this happen especially with a drug my doctors told me was safe? With the amount of occurrences, I'm interested in a class action lawsuit as well. I will never take a birth control pill again EVER.

Hi I am interested in filing a class law-suit as well against YAZ. I was in a car accident last year and I had a MRI done. What the MRI showed was I supposely had cysts on my ovaries. Next I sent for and ultrasound and was still told I had cysts. So my gyne doctor recommended that I take birthcontrol I turned it down three times because I never taken them before. So finally I said ok what do you recommend because I didn't want to have surgery because that is what she said as long as my cysts keep growing. Anyway not to write a book on April 12th 2008 I was hospitalized and I have two blood clots on my lungs on blood thinners. So anyone want to file this suit lets do it.
