If I am taking a birth control called Yasmine and diet pills called Phentermine, do the diet pills affect it?

I'd be very careful.  Meaning, I wouldn't rely 100% on the pill for BC.  I'd use some sort of back up just to be sure.  You could probably check one of the drugstore websites to see if it does or not.  \n\nAre you having any luck w/ the phentermine??  Is it helping you?  Just wondering if it worked or not.

Yes, diet pills can be very dangerous if they aren't taken responsibly, and there can be some serious side effects.  If you want to lose weight, I would consult a doctor or nutritionist to help you come up with a weight loss plan.  (although I don't think a person's weight is very important, it only becomes an issue if it effects your health.)

I'm not 100% sure one way or the other. Most birth control pills make you reatain water, thats why you are likely to gain weight, but like I said I'm not sure. I kinda doubt it, or all kinds of flat chested women would be on the pill just to get some breasts! It would be much cheaper than implants! lol

Phentermine can cause strokes & heart attacks.  You may become dependent on the drug.  Patients become very irritable.  I wouldn't recommend it for anyone.  There are other ways to lose weight.

Yes. Yasmin is a low dose birth control pill, so it would be odd it made your breasts swell that much, but a cup size increase is possible from monthly bloating, so...

JenniferLynn is wrong. The ingredients in the pill changes your hormone levels and most likely thats why you gained some weight.Your hormone levels will return back to the way they where before you starting taking the pill, but it just takes a little time for it to get out of your system.So YES, you can get back to your old self(exercise or diet to lose the weight) and NO, your body wont store fat easier.

On their own, not likely.  As an ingredient in other pills such as Xenadrine, somewhat.  But even then, weight loss pills are most effective because they give you a little more energy and most importantly, encourage you to exercise, not because they burn more fat.

I don't suggest pills, unless they're drug free. There is such a thing; it's called dexatrim natural and is fueled with green tea. Studies have shown that those who take diet pills (with the exception of drug free pills) are 75% more likely to gain all the weight back once they stop using the pill than those who lose the weight with healthy diets and exercise. So I'd suggest dropping the pill idea.

I lost like 15 pounds because of the Birth control pill. I know that sounds GREAT but not in my case because now I am too skinny, so right now I'm trying to gain the pounds back. I know most women gain weight instead of losing. I'm going to my GYN to change my pills in two weeks. Enjoy it if is working the way you wanted to!

Honestly, no. When I was on Yasmin I felt like you do now on Ortho Lo. However, if you're wanting a low dose pill, I'd try it for a few months to see if it helps, we're all different and my hormones are all screwed up. Try keeping a journal on how you feel while taking it to see if you have any changes. If you are still feeling like you do now, talk to your doctor again. There are many birth control options other than just the pills. \nGood luck, I hope you feel better soon.

Well I've taken plenty of diet pills and most of them have ephedrine or are caffeine based products.\n\nI would get really shaky and hyperactive and by the end of the day i was extremely tired. So worn out.\n\nI never lost weight, but some of them do work if you exercise and drink plenty of water.\n\nRead whats actually in the pills and investigate the side effects of each ingredient.\n\nBe safe and eat healthy!! :)

Sometimes. Every woman reacts to birth control differently. I didn't gain any weight when I started the pill, but my sisters did. If you're worried about this, tell your doctor so you two can discuss the different brands of birth control.

My doctor told me that the hormone in birth control can alter your weight by 5-7 lbs.  I asked because I was concerned about gaining weight.  If you gain or lose more than 5-7 lbs, then it's something else, not the birth control.

I have been taking it for over a year now. It is working I guess..I haven't got pregnant. It didn't cause me to lose or gain weight. I wish it would have helped me lose some weight  though. But your body may react differnt to it and you may lose weight. Everyone has differnt side effects. My friend use to take Yasmin but she stopped because she said it made her a total bitch lol! Well good luck with this pill it is suppose to be one of the best.

No, it's all about eating right and excerising.  If there was a magic pill there would be no fat people on earth LOL.\nAnd you have to be very careful about diet ads... like the Trimspa has a lot of warning on the bottle and I didn't lose a pound from taking it.  I have started losing weight by swimming and running.
