    On the courts website between 2010 and 2013 there are only 2 High Court cases listing Bayer as a defendant one case is next listed in November of this year. It may or may not have anything to do with Jasmin.

    Google the Statute of Limitations - there is a time limit from your knowledge of your condition to when you have to institute proceedings.

    No it goes up for everyone . Smoking and being over weight all increases your risk. However, all things being equal being pregnant increases your risk of vte (dvt and pe) 5 times more than just Yasmin.

    Maybe your case should be you should not have been on Yasmin but rather depo provera etc. ?

    I had been on and off it for years with no prob and different types of the pill / mirena etc. I was at my lightest weight ever, was training for triathlons was extremely fit. There was no reason why I should not have been on it. I don't have a case I'm just wondering if it has happened to anyone else in Ireland ?
