I take it to help with ewcm and it seems to work. Helps with PMT too - I just get one day of being a nutcase rather than four that I do when I don't take it.

Hi!

I posted on here not so long ago asking opinions on this and seems that you should only take it until OV (ovulation)
Helps keep everything balanced i:e Hormones etc and some people have said they think it helped them get preggers

I take one capsual 3 times daily (when i remember) and i have seen a huge change i my period, more consistant and also like someone else said, makes your nails lovely and strong too.

Dont think its recommended when you are actually pregnant though so maybe read up more on that part

When you ask "does it work?" what is it that you want it to do because according to everything I´ve read it has loads of effects including increasing CM, making cycles more regular, reducing PMS symptoms, improving skin, hair and nails...

I started taking it 3 weeks ago when I stopped my BCP as I heard that it can help your hormones to settle down and for cycles to return to normal much quicker. I´ll let you know next week if I get AF but at the moment I can definitely say that my hair and nails are thicker and I´ve had no effects after stopping my BCP (everyone else who has stopped taking Yasmin seems to have suffered from weight gain, mood swings, acne and hair falling out!).

I took it last month and had non EWCM , in fact it all but dried up (tmi). I did ovulate as my CBFM picked that up. I had really creasy hair, and i found that my period was longer than normal (normally 5 days was 7 this time). i stopped taking it at ovulation.
I don't know if it helped with PMT as i am just a nightmare nowadays anyway LOL, all the emotions attatched to TTC overwhelm me more and more each month we are unsuccesful.
I was taking it with Agnus Castus, (which did help to shorten my cycle).

I am not taking it this month, as for me it did not work, but i hear loads of reports that it does work

good luck

If this stuff makes your hair and nails thicker, I should NOT be taking it.
