I've been on Yasmin for over 3 years. While I haven't lost weight (except for while dieting) I have NOT gained any weight on it, as I did with other BCPs. So I consider not gaining the weight a huge advantage.
They say that Yasmin is a little different than most other OCPs in it's chemical composition and how it works, so it's especially good for PCOS. I know that it is also a low-dose BCP.
But, like any med, some like it and others do not. But I know that I have personally had a good experience with it. One of my non-PCOS girlfriends has just started it and as may be expected, she's been spotting for a few weeks now (but once again, that's normal for just about ANY BCP).
I hope I've been able to help somewhat & good luck with whatever it is, you decide to try!!!

Is there a BC pill that helps you lose weight?
