Yasmin and bummer

Flowerbabies-

I lost alot of weight on the Yasmin. 15 lbs in 2.5 years. Since I went off of it, almost 3 months ago, I gained 8 lbs. :( Big bummer. And worrisome.

What symptoms did you experience?

Hi,
I haven't written in awhile; I guess I've been trying to not focus so much on my horrible weight gain. Like Sherry, I'm 6.5 months off and the weight has not budged. I'm now shaped like a PEAR when I used to be tall and lean. BUMMER, especially this time of year!
Does ANYONE have ANY suggestions about how to get this weight moving? I eat right and get plenty of exercise. Wish there was an "antidote" for the darned pill!

Merry Christmas to All!

OMG I was under the impression that i was taking the miricle BC, i guess i am not (and i am not going crazy). I had been off BC of about a year when my doctor told me that i needed to go back on it. I had been complaining of servere cramps, and other misc. lower body pain, we decided to put me on Otrtho Cyclen after 1 1/2 weeks i called and begged that he switch me or take me off. I was going nuts. So they put me on Yasmin, and i started feeling different, not better, but I am so freaking tired, and lethargic that it is discusting. I don't want to have sex, I want to eat everything in sight, I have headaches all the time.

The bummer part is that when i had my period i had one cramp, and no PMS. That's all fine and dandy, though the trade off on the emotional side is going to put me in the hospital. I would rather have the pain then this. I am so glad that i found this board, I was starting to think that it was just me. Based on what i have read here and what i ma going through, I now know that atleast 90% of it is not me and i am not taking that pill anymore.
