My doctor wants me to stop BCPs one month before my checkup to see how well my met is working. Today is the day. Wish me luck! Last time I stopped them I got real sick, so I'm nervous.

Well here is my update from stopping Yasmin. AF is late, I'm all swollen and puffy and I gained 6 pounds back this month while dieting and excercising. I still have about 2 weeks till the doctor's appointment. So far, this is how it happened last time I stopped taking them. Hopefully the doc will raise my Met dosage or something...something! argh!

My doctor's appointment is finally coming. I go in to the endo tomorrow. I've been feeling (and looking) terrible.

what the heck? The doctor says just to go back on the Yasmin to get AF and try stopping yasmin again every 4-6 months as a test.
