Well, if I would have had the chance to read such postings and experiences like these here 6 years ago, when I started taking this hellsent drug, without knowing, what I was doing to my body, I would have been very thankful. Ok, I don't know if I would have believed, that the same thing could happen to me, because I had been taking bcp for 5 years before Yasmin without ANY problems!!! But I definitely would have taken the chance and had thrown away the pill package as fast as I could have.... Nobody can say, how your body will react to a bcp, everybody's different. But believe me, there are better ways for bcp and even much better and more riskless pills than that one!! The first years being on bcp at all (about 11 years ago) I didn't gain ANY weight, I was just about 110 lbs (55 kg in german weight), very slim and healthy. The weight gain after all startet about 4 or 5 years being on bcp very slowly year by year. Well, but still not in that way as under Yasmin!! I just gained about 10 pounds over about 5 years and I could live with that, because I still didn't look fat or plumper. But seeing different photos of me during my "Yasmin-years" I can see, that every year taking it I started more looking like I was "pumped full" with water or anything else, even in my face and my neck. Everything on my body started looking like pudding. Just a very unnatural look and very unusual for me, like I was always very slim and never had any problems with my weight before!! And nevertheless I still didn't look as bad as I'm doing now after getting off this hellsent drug. My weight went up 2 dress sizes (40 pounds!!!) within only 3 (!) months!!! I was so shocked, because I never had looked like this before. Altogether I can say now, that taking bcps has made me go up the amount of 50 pounds in weight and never eating more than before or doing anything else different than before!! I don't have to tell you, that I'm no longer feeling like the old me.... and that just besides all the other health problems and not really living for about 3 years now, not to mention the 8 months since december last year, when I really thought, my life would end...!!! (And still not really back to normal after 8 months of not taking this poison!!! Well, 5 years of taking Yasmin have taken their tribute....) So please don't only think twice but triple ore more about taking this Yasmin stuff any longer!!! It's not too late now to stop!! Best wishes and take care!! Silke
