Can't say that I do-but I'm assuming has to be possible since yasmin is so closely related and I was on it for over a year and was able to conceive. My Dr thought I'd need help getting preggo, glad it worked out ok and I didn't!

Hi, I'm new to the community, see you posted last month. I was on Yasmin, I think its related to Yaz but not the same for about two years. I had some really odd symptoms with Yasmin and begged my dr to take me off of it, since then I was on Apri, which is just generic desogen. Initally did much better on this one so I'm not sure how yaz/yasmin works but I can say my withdrawal bleed "period" got way longer on it- I used to only bleed for 4 days on Aleese, then gradually this increased and due to weight gain and water retention switched to Yasmin...well after a year on that I was bleeding for 8 to 9 days (still bleeding even while taking the 'active' pills) also I started getting cramps and what not and my dr kept saying that should not be happening since you only have a withdrawal bleed...then in 2009 my last lap surgery showed an "adenomatoid" tumor which i was told was extremely rare...but by then I was on Apri already. So can't say if it did anything to the uterus at all if that is what you mean by inflammation in uterus?

Also my dr didn't specifically say that yasmin was to "treat" the endo, he just felt I'd bleed less on it (I actually bled more on it, though) and should be less water retention than Alese.
