I've got IBS and had Acne for 8 years and I have been out on Yasmin for my acne... since going in it my stomach has been severely bloated and I have gone from 60kg to 63.5kg... in 3 weeks? Is this normal?
Will then bloating calm down? Can anyone recommend tablets that will help calm the bloating or my IBS 
Also I've noticed no improvement in my skin and if anything I've broken out... is the too early tell? I've heard Yasmin an make you break out before it makes it better... how long does this all take (estimate)
thank you!
Yes!!! Although I don't have Ibs. I've actually just logged into this website for the first time in ages as I'm sick of the bloating. I first got the bloat on another pill, then switched to yasmin to see if that stopped it. It continued and I had all sorts of tests done - ultrasounds, laparoscopy, colonoscopy. In the end it seemed like it must be yasmin so I had to choose between bloat and clear skin. I chose clear skin. Now I'm thinking of trying spironolactone instead and coming off the pill so I can try and get some confidence back!
Some people do get side effects that settle down after a few months - hopefully this will be the case for you. However I have heard that yasmin isn't good for digestive issues. The only thing that really helped my bloating was a strong probiotic supplement. Also - never look down at your stomach, always seems to look 10x worse than in the mirror.
In terms of time, it took me about 2 months to notice a real difference. The first month it was worse than it had ever been. Everyone's different though.
Hope it works out for you - I feel your pain.
