I thought it was just me!. Ive had a big struggle with the pill for 2 yrs now. I started out with orthotry and gained weight. THen the doctor put me on Yasmin. I've been on it for almost a year. The weird thing about this pill is that it makes you "big" all around not necessarily fat. I hate it. I found that I can't lose weight. I work out 4 times a week, and weight train, but the pounds are not coming off. I'm leaving the pill all together after next week. It has really created alot of problems for me in dealing with my weight. Anyone else experience the same?
