Affraid to Try Yasmine.. Worried About Weight Gain.. Help
Posted: 10-13-05 22:48pm

I am new to yasmine. My doctor put me on yasmine for polycystic ovaries. I have taken ortho tri cyclen and I was miserable while taking it. I gained 60+ lbs.... I cried all the time. I havent taken birth control for a while now. I now deal with not having a period for as long as 6 months. I gained 15 lbs and I freaked. I have been dealing with bulima for a period of 2 years. I deal with this problem daily. Constant worry about gaining weight still enters my mind... Thus brings me to my current problem, will I gain a lot of weight if I try to take yasmine. Does anyone have any comments on yasmine. Any will help. Also.. I get migranes very bad ... Did anyone have migraines while taking yasmine?

Hello

i am also suffering from bulimia (currently in recovery) and have the same weight worries. I am on yasmin and have had no weight or water retention problems, even though I tend to gain weight very easily. I haven't had any side effects ar all on it. Good luck and I hope you can live eating disorder free someday - stay strong!!
