| Pros | lost weight.. can be a good thing for some people but bad thing for other... if your skinny already don't try because you will loose your appetite |
|---|---|
| Cons | ACNE!! even if i don't break out my skin just looked bad.. i didn't have any glow to my skin at all... you will not just get the pimple that you can pop., you get the huge under the skin ones that leave dark spots on your face |
| Bottom line | no pregnancy but horrible on skin.. and body if your skinny like me... you will look like a skeleton if you use it long.. i don't like it at all |
| Recommended | No |

| Cons | I choosed Yasmin for my excellent birth control. and it help me for my acne too. It decreases bloating, irritability, and monthly blood lost. I got it avaliable online, so bringing the cost much lower. |
| Bottom line | only Moodiness and weight loss just a few week on first time that i tried it. ... now it's good and do not have siddeeffect anymore |

| Pros | Definitely cleared up my acne after 6 months of use. No pregnancies!!! Relatively inexpensive. Lighter, 3 day periods!!! |
|---|---|
| Cons | Some depression at first, but that faded. Some breast pain, like when you get your period. |
| Bottom line | I got on Yasmin because I was desperate for an acne solution, and heard that progesterone could help. I had tried Ortho Tri- Cyclen, but that didn't work. Pro-Active, and other acne treatments made my skin worse. So, I vowed to try Yasmin for a year and if it didn't work I'd just give up. After 6 mos. my skin was sooo much better, and I was sooo much happier. My periods even got lighter, and used to last 7 days, and then only 3 days. Also I wasn't worried about getting pregnant, which was a plus since I was really only using Yasmin for my acne. After a year my skin was almost completely clear...but then my insurance changed and wouldn't cover it anymore..so since my skin was clear I just went off of it. After 3 months I started breaking out again, annnd getting lots of abcesses. After about 6 mos. of not being on Yasmin my skin is totally back to crappy acne take over. So, I just decided I'm going to pay $66 a month for it..it'll be worth it to me, if I can have clear skin again. |

| Pros | Face and back cleared up entirely, no weight gain or increased appetite, but I did fill out up top a little more (nothing major though). Shorter lighter periods are nice as well. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I was a little nauseous & my face broke out some the first week I started taking Yasmin. Also, my insurance doesn't want to cover any more refills after the first three, so I'm having to pay full price right now. |
| Bottom line | Aside from my insurance not preferring Yasmin, I absolutely love it. But stick with it for at least three months, that's about how long it before I started seeing major results. I had a mean case of cystic acne before and I still had to have some cysts drained while I first started taking Yasmin, but I'm almost five months into it & haven't had a problem for about 2 months. Now, I rarely have any zits. I haven't had any cysts in a while, which is amazing! And I don't break out before my periods anymore. I can go out without makeup, which I've never been able to do. I use Cetaphil & Benzaclin at night as well, and it works perfectly for me. My advice: just stick with it for a few months. There were some times where I was discouraged & thought it wasn't working, but just give it some time. |

| Pros | This pill made my skin clearer after coming off dianette, stopped mood swings. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Evengtually after nearly 6 months acne came back on jawline and one cheek |
| Bottom line | want a pill I can keep on that wont make me break out! they always start off well and then end up with spots thats why I came off dianette. Back on it now still waiting for a decent improvement.. Think Yasmin is a good option after dianette but wonder why it helped my skin and then made it worse |
