I am on my second pack of Yasmin & I feel great. My pain bloating & water retention has gone. Apart from growing a cup size which pleases me also except for the tenderness I can't fault it. My lethargy has also gone. I felt a bit groggy for the first couple of weeks but I think its worth sticking to it. I also had headaches and crying but that goes.

stick with it. >>>
