"when i was 17 i was scared to start on birth control. my doctor had suggested yasmin to me. i was glad i did start it. i had no problems. i never got sick from it, gained any weight, had any pains etc. even every time i stopped taking it there were no problems. the birth control was very effective even if i missed a few days. my face was also clear of acne. no changes in sex drive. i am very sad i cannot go back on it because it is no longer free with my health care.
