Just trying it again after a 5 year break, been taking Cilest for 6months which has been ok but I have gained weight.
I have just made the mistake of googling Yasmin. Flip, banded in some countries and lots of law suits in the us???

I've been on it for years now. I'm 32. Didn't know there was anything wrong? Why is it banned in some countries?

Shit! Might as well stop taking it now as I'm separated and not getting any at the moment anyway. Grin

I didnt know it was banned in some countries. I take it for my endometriosis and its really helped me. the difference in the pain I get since taking it makes me reluctant to stop taking it

Been taking it for years (at least 10). No problems and I'm nt going to google!

I took it for a few years in my early 20s and it royally buggered my moods.

I've been on it for years. I thought that all birth control pills had the side effect of blood clots, which is why you shouldn't smoke on them and have your blood pressure checked.
