New B.C. Pill

[Hideout]

Don't get too excited about losing weight on Yasmin, it's only temporary. In a few months you may experience significant weight gain. Look at other posts about the serious side effects they have been experiencing!

That sounds excellent! I will check into that. Has anyone had different side effects from Lo Ovral? Or Yasmin?

You know what...i just thought of this today...but I have been taking a lot of calcium (pills, drinking more milk, ice cream, etc.) just for my bones but it also helps in WEIGHT LOSS. that may be the reason why I am feeling thinner in addition to Lo Ovral.

I don't know about yasmin or dairy products increasing weight loss. Only recently have i been able to loose weight on yasmin (I am currently off of it now), and I think that was mostly due to starvation b/c it hurt me to eat everything for awhile with my teeth problems I have had, even soup hurt. So, I lost weight. I too was on Alesse and I gained 30 lbs in my 2nd year of use so I switched to yasmin but have had other negative side effects not related to weight gain, though I did go up in weight even more the 1st year on that pill. Some women may be able to loose weight on this pill and others just won't, it just depends on you.

Everyone is different as I've said before, what may cause someone to gain weight on a certain pill may also cause somebody else to lose weight on that same pill or stay at the same weight. My dr told me that there is less chance of weight gain with Yasmin then some other pills out on the market. I agree that there seems to be alot of negative posts about the Yasmin bc pill but I've said it before-for ME I have lost some weight and my migraines are much better now-a really big difference!! Who really knows if all the symptoms people experience are truely related completely to the pill. I've experienced some of the common symptoms when I wasn't even on the pill. I also think that if you are going to experience side effects from the bc pill-they would be more likely to happen within the first 3-4 months of using a particular pill. Just because a certain brand of bc pill doesn't work for someone doesn't mean that someone else can't have success with that same pill.
