Hello,

I was wondering if anyone is taking Yasmin, and if you can tell me any experiences you have had with it good or bad. I would love to hear anything. I now take ortho tricyclen and it works for me but I have bad PMS so for trying to take it for three months then have a period its not the best pill since its not one steady dose, and thats what I need. My biggest fear is weight gain. I'm normally between 125-130, and do to my health I was up to 160 a year ago and for me on a 5'4 frame that was horrible, well after 8 months I have lost 30lbs, so I don't want to gain it back now that I'm back within my normal weight range of 130. So if anyone has any infomation on this pill I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,

AKA

Hi there. I was on OTC before I switched to Yasmin. I had weightgain from OTC, I have always struggled with my weight any way and was very unhappy about the increase with OTC (amongst the rest of the negative side effects with it). Anyway, I switched to Yasmin and haven't had weight gain. However, since my weight went up with OTC and general lifestyle stuff, I have been focusing on the food that I eat and making sure that I exercise regularly to get my weight down, and it has gone down. The only thing is for me with Yasmin is that I am hungier than I was before, they say that has to do with the progestin.

I am a supporter of this pill. Good luck.
