Oh yeah! I definatly gained weight from Yasmin. I have weighed the same for the last 3 years, maybe a 1-2 pound fluctuation before my period. Within 2 weeks of starting Yasmin, my belly was extremely bloated and I have gained 7 pounds!! What the hell!! I just stopped Yasmin 2 days ago, and now wondering how long, if ever, it will take to lose the weight. I can't imagine that the weight is in fat, but I've taken some water pills, and my weight hasn't budged!!!
