Yasmin

Dyspraxia exaggerated by yasmin?

Does anyone have any experience of this? I am on it because of spots, but since about 2 weeks ago (started around 4 weeks) I feel that my co-ordination has got even worse than it is already!

Lets put it this way:

Today I:

1) Smashed a glass
2) knocked over a glass
3) bashed my right arm
4) knocked over two bottles of glue at school
5) nearly bashed into a y7 kid and our technician head on
6) dropped my work twice
7) cut my hand.
8) spilt water all over the place

As far as I know Yasmin contains a hormone- could it be mimicking 'the time of the month' 24/7 (I notice that my dyspraxia shows up worse then).

Or is it purely a co-incidence and I'm having a really bad two weeks.

I'm on Yasmin and have been for at least 3 years now. I've not experienced any of the problems that you have.

Now I think back then my dyspraxia may have been a bit worse when I first went on the pill. This was probably because when I first went on it then I was 'on' most of the time for about a month. This quickly settled down so I'm sure that your worsoned dyspraxic will too. If they don't then you may need to go to the doctor and ask to be put on a different brand of the pill.
