I spoke with my endo on Friday about the bloating/weight gain that I am experiencing on Yasmin. He told me that there isn't anything he can do, but I should stick it out and see if it goes away. I am just about to finish my first pack (still on the white pills) and haven't stopped gaining weight yet. I "think" this is water weight (hope!) since I have been so good about exercising almost every day and eating well since I started this pill. The thing is, it's making me feel really abd about myself because I am being so "good" to myself, but am still gaining-- if I let it slip for a second, what would happen. Not only that, it just seems so unfair to count calories and exercise and GAIN. Sigh. Anyways... I guess I'm wondering two things. 1) has anyone else here experienced weight gain/bloating on Yasmin and did it go away and 2) any thoughts on a diuretic? My father is a doctor and that was his suggestion. I tried dandelion root, but I think it was too mild to do anything...

By the way, my endo said ibuprofen is OK for people on Yasmin as long as you don't take it every day for things like arthritis, etc. There was a bit of a debate about that a few weeks back...

XOXO Melanie
