Default More hair w/ Yasmin??

I could all be coincidental, but it seems that since I've started taking Yasmin that the hair growth has increased. Has anybody else experienced this or is it just my mind playing tricks on me??

This is a horrid never-ending cycle...

How long have you been taking it? If not for long give it time. I know my skin was horribly broken out for like the first 4 months of taking it... a reverse reaction. Then things got better... with the hair and acne.

I took Yasmin but I really don't remember what or if anything it done to me. I took a pill a few months ago and the hair did seem to get better. It got thinner(on my face) but did not go away. I have to go back to the dr in a couple of weeks and will be put back on it. I will let you know what it is if you want to talk to your dr about it.

I noticed an increase of hair while on Yasmin compared to other brands of BCPs I had been on previous to switching to Yasmin. I have been off all BCPs for about 6 months and have noticed quite in increase in facial hair so I now appreciate how much Yasmin did keep that under control. I hope you are able to figure out whats going on. Good luck!!

I just started yasmin two months ago and the hair growth on face and body has stayed the same for me and my hair on my head is still falling out....It can take a couple of months to see a difference though...Hang in there and see what happens.

Yasmin was awful for me. I was on it for a year and a half. My doc said that it would help my hair, make my periods lighter, lessen cramps, yada yada. It didn't do any of that. I gained a ton of weight and after I went off of them my hair was ten times worse. This was a few years ago.
Now, my current endo wants me to go on bcp and I am fighting tooth and nail against it.

I've been on Yasmin since May. My facial hair and skin have gotten a little better, but I've also started the IR diet and daily cardio/weights. I don't know if Yasmin or the weightloss have made a difference or not.

Best of luck.
