... I just want to say that I did not have a bad experience with Yasmin or Yaz (I had been on both). I took Yasmin for about 3 years and Yaz for about 2 years. The only thing that has been rough is actually stopping it... the first month Yasmin-free, nothing much changed, aside from some weight gain (only about 2-3 lbs or so), but my period was still pretty much the same... HOWEVER, month two... what a train wreck! Spotted for 4 days, thought I was pregnant, but oh, no... my period arrived with a vengeance four days late, and it totally brought me back to those high-school days when it was so heavy, I was self-conscious of leaking! I have also gained another couple of lbs, which I can only attribute to stopping the pill because I have become very active since the beginning of the summer, and have been cutting down on food portions. So, we;ll see what happens... but if anyone else has experienced weight-gain after coming off of the pill, I'd love to know. Otherwise, no issues! Yasmin seemed to work well for me.

Yes I hear you when I was on Yasmin I was weighting 127 lbs and now that I've been off Yasmin I weight 155lbs so I'm going to get back on Yasmin tomrrow and also I haven't had my period going on 6 months.

Hi I was on Yasmin for 5 years. I came off of it because I wanted a break from so many hormones being pumped into my body, and honestly, I have gained like 5 pounds of fat, all in my stomach. I dont know what is wrong with me, I am exercising every single day and have majorly cut back calories. Normally, I would lose weight, but I just seem to keep gaining, all in my tummy. I think my hormones are permanently imbalanced, it has been 3 months now and no change, I am worried. Never go on this drug!
