I was on another contraceptive pills for three years before my new OBgyne recommended Yasmin combined oral contraceptive pill to me. I gained considerable weight from years of taking my previous contraceptive pill so I was glad when my OBgyne told me that Yasmin should be milder and should be better for women whose primary respond to contraceptive pills is weight gain. She also told me that most of her clients are happy with it and that none of them reported a dramatic weight
gain as a side effect of Yasmin.
I gladly took her advice and she was right. I didn’t gain a single pound while on Yasmin. After a few months of using it, I actually shed a few pounds! My skin also became a lot less dry. But there’s one side effect of Yasmin that made me decide to stop taking it.
I didn’t notice the side effect until I was on my sixth month of taking Yasmin and actually, it was my husband ...
