"this was the first (and only) birth control i have ever used, so i will say upfront that the effects it had on me may have resulted in any birth control use not just from yasmin. i used yasmin for about 2 months and in that amount of time it had almost completely killed my sex drive. i could not reach &quot;climax&quot; whereas i had not had a problem before and had almost no desire for sex. in addition i became so dry that when i did have sex it would burn and be painful. i did gain some weight but i&#039;m not sure if i could really blame it on the birth control except for the fact my breasts went up a cup size and still haven&#039;t shrunk though i&#039;ve lost weight. the weight may have been put on easier on yasmin? hair got thicker also but no baby!"
