Yasmin--Weight Gain? Help

Hi everyone--

I've been Yasmin for a month now and am already seeing some weight gain. I'm concerned about gaining because I've gained weight with other BCPs, however, I thought Yasmin was not supposed to have this effect. I feel like my diet and exercise routine has been pretty much the same, but maybe I have been eating more? Anyone out there on Yasmin who can help me out? I'd love to hear your experiences with it, good and bad. Thanks in advance!

I haven't had weight gain as a side effect, but for the first few months of taking it, I felt hungier and probably ate more. Yasmin is a whole lot better than it was when I was on OTC, I'd almost take any side effect over the ones I had with that pill!
