"i have been taking yasmin for 9 months and i can say that it had protected me effectively against pregnancy.  

i have read about some negative effects that have been linked to this pill. however, i decided to take it because my mother took it for years without experiencing any side effects. during my first cycle taking the pill, i experienced mild nausea and upset stomach occasionally. however, the symptoms were gone by the time i started my second pack. i have not noticed any changes in my weight or in my mood. i have frequent muscle cramps in my legs, but i am not sure that this is being caused by the pill."
