I have been on Yasmin for about 6 months. I feel pretty much normal now. I was prescribed Yasmin for severe PMS. The only negative thing that has changed since I took it is that I get indigestion or gas easily now so I have to watch what I eat. That was never a concern before, and I never linked it to the pill but several others on this discussion board have mentioned that, so I made the connection today.
One thing I noticed is that most people posting here are posting about the drug on their first month and that is when your body goes through the most hormonal changes. So I'm not sure about judging yasmin from those posts.
Let's see, some people want to know how other body types have dealt with it.
I am 5'1 105 lbs D cup and everything has stayed the same. At first I lost about 5 pounds and had to run to the restroom any time I drank a sip of water but I am pretty normal now.
I felt very nervous about it the first 9 weeks because it was my first BCP. I was prescribed 3 packs in a row at first without the white pills and then went on to taking the normal dosage. During this time I had lots of spotting, but I think that was my body adjusting to the new 'schedule'. Now I have shorter periods than before and do not have extreme pms symptoms like before Yasmin. I am staying on it because this minor stuff is way better than vomiting and fainting and shaking every month.
