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.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Nicole has used this item for a few months.
Price Paid:15.00
Acne severity:very light
