Hello
Yasmin is a low dose oral contraceptive pill with anti androgenic properties , that's why in few patient it produces pain ( however it is uncommon ) .
Anyway , you are having pain after one month of its use , so you can use another oral contraceptive i.e femilon .
This is a combination of hormones e.g. desogestrel + ethinylestradiol , usually this don't produces such type of pain as you were feeling with yasmin .
Minor side effects , you may feel as intermenstrual bleeding or breast tenderness or enlargement or mild degree secretions but these side effects are transient and just for short period .
Once a while this tablet will adjust in body.
Good luck.
