I've only been taking the pill for 6 days now. All these people who are reding about the negative side effects should remember that more people state negative things about products and are more vocal than those who have a positive experience. So far, most of my symptoms are not bad. I had a little nausea and need to go to the bathroom more but my breasts are a little bigger and right now my sex drive has increased. Last time I was on BC, a couple years ago, I had horrible mood swings right away. So far I haven't encountered that so I am happy with Yasmin. I'll update after I've been taking it longer.

Ladies!
When my mum pointed out this website, and blogs bout Yasmin,
and after reading just a few,
i bursted out crying.
after just 3 months on Yasmin
i was completely, utterly depressed.
being a 15 year old then, it was the worst thing
in the world.
i am a highly trained athlete,
and this pill made me gain over 7 kgs.
training 8 times a week, and 3 dryland,
and STILL packing on the kgs was
unimaginable.
i became completely self conscious,
and stopped eating for days on end.
training suffered, but my muscles and body
suffered more.
all my muscles got completely fatigued and
i lost most of my fast-twitch muscle fibers.
apart from this i obtained a COMPLETE
Fluid retention in every part of my body.
thighs and face the worst.
i couldnt move my joints very freely,
and nothing would let this go.
the absolute worst part was the depression
and anxiety that came from this all.
i remember having 2 weeks off school,
and all i did, was stay home, in bed and cry.
i broke up with my boyfriend, and didn't want
a n y o n e to care about me, i even made a list,
of everyones names and crossed them
off as they hated me.
i cut myself, and hurt myself, especially on my legs
where my mind just hated seeing them,
and feeling this way.
could NOT stand being in my swim-wear during training,
i would run out, and cry if i saw someone look at me.
paranoia.
to feel this out of control with your own body,
is the worst feeling in the world.
i would cry.
everyday. every night.
and i couldnt stop.
i would be moody, and angry, and hopeless,
and start verbal fights everywhere i went.
and i didn't even know why.
after reading this all,
suddenly, everything made sense.
my doctor, told me, in specific words
"they call this the 'luxury pill' its the most expensive,
and has least side effects than any of the others."
i showed her this website.
after i went off it, i had the three day blues,
mum said, just like after pregnancy.
i cried, and cried and cried.
would be sitting in class, and bursted out in tears.
things were horrible.
its now about 6 months later, of not being on anything,
my periods just began back after not having them
for 4 months, and my body, is no where
near how it was before i went on pill,
but its getting there :)
one day I'm going to be an amazing swimmer.
and on the Australian team.
i guess, if i had not had this experience
i would never be this determined now.
I Would NEVER Recommend This Pill
To Any Girl Or Woman.
EVER.
Its Amazing What One
TINY Little Pill Can Actually Do To You.
stay strong girls,
