It's so interesting to see how differently all of our bodies have responded to the same medication. In a way, I would say that in itself is a reason for you to try it-- you just won't know how your body will react until then.

As for me, I have been on Yasmin for almost 2 months. THe upshot is the balding has DEFIANTELY gotten better. THe down is that I've gained weight, am getting migranes, and am moody (but NOT as moody as with other pills). I'm going to try and give it at least 3 months- I love what it is doing for my hair, but the other side effects are hard on me.
