"I have been taking Yasmin for a little over a year now.  Prior to that I took Yaz for about 3 years.  I have stopped taking Yasmin and other pills, for a little over a month now.  I have noticed that I seem to be eating the same, which isn&#039;t terrible, and I&#039;ve gained about 3 pounds in that time.  I stopped taking the pills altogether because my husband got a vasectomy and the pills cause some minor high blood pressure."
