WTH? I got off Yasmin 2 months ago and I have started gaining weight since then! :-o I have always had pretty much the same weight since 16 years ago but now after getting off I've gained 5 pounds in 2 months. This sucks! And trust me, it's not my fault that it's happening. And the weird thing is that I eat half the sweets and candy now versus when I was on the pill. Is the weight gain going to stop? Am I going to loose these extra pounds then? How long can I expect it to take before it levels off again and my body is back to normal? I hate that I even started taking this pill in the first place. :-(

Me too. I exercise 5-6 days a week every week and eat extremely healthy and drink at least 64oz of H2O every day and no sodas or chips or any junk food. I stopped taking Yaz about three weeks ago and have gained at least 6lbs. I am cutting portions in half and still weight training with cardio but I am terrified that things may keep getting worse. My legs hurt they are so puffy as well as my hands. I drink herbal teas to try to help with the swelling but something has to give...before my fat pants do!!! Thanks for letting me get my b*tch out. Sorry you two are feeling the same as me but glad I am not the only one.
