Yasmin and weight gain
| Fri, 09-29-2006 - 10:30pm |
I've been on Yasmin for 4 months and have gained about 6Ibs. I have had a tough time lately and I'm an emotional eater but I know Yasmin must have a part in it too. I'm just wondering if being on Yasmin will make it hard or harder to loose weight? Why do a lot of women gain weight while on bc pills anyway? I want to loose about 15 Ibs but want to know if Yasmin will work against me.
BTW, I'm only on bc pills because I'm on a medication that requires me to be using 2 birth control methods ( accutane ). My dermatologist suggested Yasmin but all bc pills I've ever been on has made my skin worse. Yasmin has also killed my sex drive. I'm not planning to stay on it after I'm finnished with my treatment.

gain. I have had some moodiness though but no weight gain. I am not one of those people who can safely eat anything and not gain an ounce, but I am a healthy eater and exercise regularly. I guess these pills can have a different effect on different people....good luck!
Many women don't gain weight when they take birth control pills, it's a lot less common than it used to be (when the hormone doses were higher).
