I have been on Yasmin now for 2 months and have had no problems with it. i have not gained any weight or felt moody. i actually feel that my face has definitely cleared up and on my last periods they have been shorter. the reason i asked my doctor for this specific pill was because i had HORRIBLE cramps that i couldn't move. my whole entire body would ache and my appetite was sky high. since being on it i think that it has helped me out. i think if your questioning taking this pill just give it a try for at least three months or so. every woman is different just remember that!!!
