I started taking the birth control Yasmin, I am wondering how good it is. I hear it doesnt make you gain weight like some other pills out there, anyone ever used it?

I used it for about 3 1/2 years. it worked pretty well and made my periods lighter for awhile, but the good effects seemed to wear off and I think it screwed with my libido after awhile. my cramps started coming back and my periods have been longer, so I switched to Alesse.

I was on Yasmin for almost three yrs. and it worked great for me, i didn't gain any weight, and my periods were a lot lighter, and usually only lasted 4 or 5 days instead of 7.

I found it ok. I was on it to make sure I had a bleed because I have PCOS. Was only on it 3 months but it was ok, just a little larger than other pills so a bit harder to swallow

I've heard that it has a diuretic in it to help keep you from retaining as much water, and that's why you don't gain weight on it, but I've never used it.
