I have experienced the same thing... I've been on Yasmin for around 8 months.. the first six were great. No weight gain like the half-a-dozen other pills I've tried before, no mood swings, like the IUD and Depo that I have also been unsuccessful with.
Suddnely these past 2 months, I am gaining weight. It feels like water weight I think, because it seems to just be cellulite and that is not something I've really had prior to this. I am 33 so, it's definitely not an adolescent-changing into woman's body thing. It is totally related to this, because my breasts size, already a 32D is now at least a size bigger... and that is not something I particularly want or need.
I am today due to start my 9 month cycle, after virtually no bleeding at all this last period, which kind of freaks me out a little, and am seriously considering stopping. But I haven't seen my boyfriend in a couple months and we are due to meet soon, so I really don't want to have to be bothered with the whole contraceptive issue. But then again, I definitey don't want flabby thighs and painful swollen breasts when I see him either!
I am so disappointed that this one too isn't seeming to work... and I wonder if it is some kind of hormone surge and will settle down.. and if I should stick it out.
I also get a lot of vertigo and dizziness... but I have low blood pressure, so I can't be sure if that isn't the cause.
Anyway... any comments are appreciated!
