| Pros: | No weight gain |
| Cons: | Bad break outson my cheeks only, first week. Bit moody. |
| Bottom Line: | I hear that your skin clears up after the first 3months, so I'm hopeful that it will because I can't stand these big painful zits. It makes me feel moody, and ugly. |
| Recommended: | Yes |
| Usage: | Tracy has used this item for about a week. |
| Price Paid: | 128.00 |
| Acne severity: | moderately severe |

| Pros: | Yasmin has kept me having short periods and I dont gain weight beause i dont eat alot. |
| Cons: | I hate that they have made a generic because I think the brand is better. Im getting blood clots also |
| Bottom Line: | I would recommend this product if u dont want a baby. It has stopped me from having any more babies. I just dont like the generic and i have asked the doctor to give me brand but that hasnt worked yet. I have used yasmin for almost 4 years now and my only down fall is the generic. Just recently they came out with a generic for the yasmin. Since i have to use generic now it makes me have cramps and i didnt have cramps taking the yasmin. The doctor had told me that there is a difference between the generic and the brand. My insurance doesnt want to pay for the brand anymore unless the doctor approves it. |

| Pros: | makes skin looks pretty, regulates period and keeps my weight stable |
| Cons: | >It gave me acne in places I never had it before. >Gave me nausea- BAD. The first pack (3 weeks) was all nausea but after then it was okay. > I definitely had a loss in my sex drive. Which lasted for more than a month. |
| Bottom Line: | I use this to regulate my periods and it has done that. I haven't gained weight but it has made me nauseated with a decrease sex drive. And even though I had acne it did clear up in a month or two. But if you need it for regulating your periods, I'd get it. |

| Pros: | Pregnancy prevention |
| Cons: | Depression, major acne Breakouts, Weight gain, |
| Bottom Line: | I'm on the generic Ocella and have heard others comment that only the Yazmin works well. However, I don't understand how this pill could make my acne worse when it's specifically supposed to lower androgrens. :-( |
| Recommended: | No |
