I'm getting ready to start Yasmin. My question is about the white pill. Do i have to take it?? I've never taken the inactive pills in any of my other BCPs (hmm wonder if that has anything to do with my issues some times). Also curious about any side effects that anyone has had while taking Yasmin?

TIA

I rarely took the white pills while I was on Yasmin. It didnt seem to make any difference to me! As far as side effects, I didnt have any. Yasmin was a perfect match for me. I guess I got lucky because it's the first BCP I ever used! I plan to get back on it after we're done TTC!

I'm guessing you have the 28 day pack of pills? If this is the case you only need to take the first 21 pills. You can skip the last 7, they are just there to help you get on a routine for taking them, and not miss the day you are supposed to restart your new package.

I've been on Yasmin about 10 months now. I love it. Its been a great bcp for me. My withdrawl period is shorter, and lighter. I haven't gained any weight, and i've been able to lose some weight again since switching to Yasmin from Diane 35. I haven't noticed any change in facial hair, but that is nothing new for me at this point, i've learned to live with it.. probably forever, lol.
