I used to take Yasmin, the only one (and last one) I ever tried. Apart from a rapid increase in weight, breast tenderness all month, and severe reduction of libido, I had a lot of thread veins coming up in my legs (so much so that I had to have them removed cos they were awful). I would never ever take it again. My friend also took it for 6 months and had exact same symptoms except the breast tenderness.
