So are you losing weight because Yasmine helps reduce your current water level?

I was the one who said I lost weight but eat like a cow..hehe..i dont think BC is supposed to speed up your metabolism, but since I have gotten on Lo Ovral I feel thinner? my clothes look better and stuff, and I have not changed eating or exercising habits. it def. helps with the PMS before I get my period because I barely have any symptoms, no sore breasts or cramps, and when I get my period...pretty much no cramps at all (only when it first starts) and very little bleeding! so far...i love this pill =)

I am assuming that in my case I have lost weight because I do not retain as much water. Yasmin has significantly helped with my migraine headaches and my periods are very light, 2-3 days. The down side is I've been experiencing bouts of depression. Not sure if it is related to this pill. There is some depression that runs in the family. Haven't been on it long enough to make judgement on it. But it has contributed to my weight loss for sure and it definitely has helped with the severity and amount of migraines I get. Keep in mind that everyone is different, we are all individual and what works for one person may not work for another.
Good-luck!
