My Doctor Is Putting Me On Yasmin... and I had a few questions.

I get really bloated from the PCOS, so much so, that it looks like I'm pregnant. Have any of you found any relief from this?

Also, has going on Yasmin for any of you lead to weight loss? Thank you.

Hi,
I lost 15 lbs within 10 days of being on Yaz. I gained 40lbs when i went off Nuvaring so my new Dr suggested Yaz. I personally LOVE it. GOOD LUCK!

Congratulations! Are you on anything else besides the Pill?

I take Yasmin and Spironolactone. I started taking both of these January of 2007, I lost about 12 pounds in the first 2 months without really doing anything. Since then I have lost an additional 45 pounds with diet and exercise. Lately, because of injuries and surgery, it has been more diet than exercise.

I never really got bloated before I started Yasmin, but I did have irregular periods, slight acne, and facial hair. Yasmin has helped with all of these things. I have been very happy on Yasmin. My doctor suggested that I switch my BCP (because of other reasons) and I told her that I only wanted to do that as a last resort. Fortunately, I think I have the other problems under control and I didn't have to switch my BCP.

I take a good multi-vitamin and 1 more l-acetyl carnitine at night. Another cyster posted a report on LAC and the benefits of using it. After reading that I made sure to take it and it gives me alot more energy. My husbnd and I order the vitamins they come in blister packs. 1 for am and 1 for pm. I believe in the product and we are gonna get involved with being a distributor. I am not gonna put there name on here cuz I don't think its right to sell "businesses" on here. If you want to know a list of all the vitamins i could email you. Its a long list. Alot of the stuff I took before but now I just buy 1, well 2 products. Good Luck to you!

I was on Yasmin for a few months and never gained a pound. In fact, I lost weight on it (not because of it per se, but because I switched SSRIs). The Yasmin did not prevent me from losing weight is my point.
I really wanted to keep using it but I lost my medical insurance and couldn't afford to stay on it. When I get my med insurance again, I will definitely use it again.
