I have been on Yasmin on and off for about 5 years and never had any trouble until recently. In fact, I thought it was the most amazing pill- no side effects! I recommended it to all of my friends and family. Recently my sister had to get off of it after being on it for 2 years due to bloating and heavier/uncontrolled periods. I have been progressively getting more and more bloated. I'm barely fitting in my bras now and feel like a whale! I usually get on and off birth control and this is the first time that I've been on the Yasmin consistently for 2 years. It seems like 2 years is Pivotal for people- that the symptoms progress over time or start showing up around 2 years if you don't take a break from it- which I really do not get! I go to the GYN soon and will talk with her but I think the answer is just getting off of it for a few months to take a break. The other pills give me awful side effects right up front. Has anyone switched to another bc pill and had success? I'd love suggestions....
