I was on it for a year and a half, and I went from the shot to Yasmine and stayed on it till I got off B/C altogether to get preggers, on the Yasmine I lost close to 20 lbs in a few months bye curving my food (I craved less with the pill) and wasn't as tired all the time so more engery to do more stuff.

Good luck!

Can't tell you to much I did lose about 5 lbs when I switched. But had some problems for about 9 months with my other bc so we'll see now that i'm on a new one again and hopefully my body straitens out! But currently I'm on Lo ovral. I've heard Yaz is good too!

i was on the shot for a year and gained some weight, i stayed off b/c for almost a year to try and regulate my periods because i would have them for almost a month at a time and then it would stop for a week or so and start again, now i switched to ortho lo and my periods are still really irregular but it's only been about a month and i forget to take it because i am not use to takeing something everyday. but i did loose a lot of weight and it is noticiable.
