Good Morning, I have been taking Yasmin for about 1 year and I am sorry to report the opposite happened to me - I was obsessed with food for the first 3 or so months and gained some weight - however I have to be really strict with myself now...but the week before AF chocolate is not safe for about 2 days!

I've been on it for about 8 months. I didn't notice needing a wee more frequently. Made me feel very sick for the first few months and I get headaches on my week off.

I find I get very hungry the first week of taking it each month. However I've lost a couple of pounds - was 8 10 before and now fluctuate between 8 6 and 8 8. This might not be due to yasmin of course!
