Any Yasmin users here?

I wondered what others have experienced taking this birth control pill. I have heard from others on the board that you can gain once you go off of it because of water weight. I have now gained about 10 lbs in 1 month and that is the only thing that changed for me. Has anyone else experienced this? How much did you gain? Does it ever come off again? I am just so frustrated...

Ysamine has one the lowest doses of estrogen on the market. It also has a slight diuretic effect wich sould help water weight. I my self did not experience this effect and had (BTB) with it so my DO switched me to Ovcon 50. Now this is a pill that is very high in estrogen, and for some reason by body responds to this drug diferently, and better, rule of thumb the more Estrogen the more water weight. But for people like me just the oppisite was true I had to get off yasmine. This is just my experience though.

I didnt gain when I went of Yasmin. It has a mild diuretic in it, so if you were to gain it should only be water weight.

I am on Yasmin and I actually did a little experiment and went off of it for 2 weeks...no gains at all, in fact I lost. I dont contribute my loses to being off of the pill though
