"i had prescribed yasmin to help with cystic acne and hirtuism as i was told i had pcos. it was great at first i lost about 4/5 lbs my skin started to clear (no crazy initial breakout, phew!) mood improved, sex drive improved, i was travelling in oz and eating rubbish but i literally started piling on the pounds, i spent most of my time in oz feeling bloated, heavy and self concious. after that i started to exercise and eat clean for weeks but could not loose a lb. so i quit after 7 months on it. put on another 5 lbs! after a long 3 months off yasmine and 7 weeks in between periods i started to loose weight! skin stayed clear with use of epiduo (recommend) 5 months off  and my periods are back to normal and still loosing. wasn&#039;t worth it at all.
