all my troubles started wen i went off yasmine 1 year ago....2 my memory i was great on the pill i was thin healthy happy maybe a bit moody but i had a lot going on so who knows..
well what i wanted to know is does anyone take yasmine and met together im jus thinking yasmine would help with the other stuff

I'm in the same boat and I feel your pain about new clothes. I'm planning on going back on birth control pills for the moment because I've run out of ideas and they seemed to have worked in the past. I think there are a good number of cysters on here who use both met and bcps together with good results.

I assume that if you are not ttc, bcp would be a good option. I was on them for 12 years and went off in Jan when decided that we were ready to ttc and I have noticed some of the same things - skin issues around my hair line (acne etc) oily hair, but have not gained any weight.

If you decide to try met and bc let me know how it goes. My doc wont let me try met, 1) because I'm not overwt and 2) my c-peptide was normal and she says that means my insulin has been fine for the last couple months. I think I have symptoms of IR but she wants me to change my diet and exercise as well as yaz and see how I feel. I'm just scared that I will only be masking the symptoms not really helping anything. I have only been off bc for 4 mths and have gained a lot of wt.... Good luck and let me know how things go!
