Pros Regulating Period, Periods much lighter and less painful
Cons Went on this pill for regulating my periods and clearing up my skin. I only use to have a few spots, since going on Yasmin my sking has gotten much worse but i have only been on it one month so i am going to stick with it until the end of month 3.
Bottom line I will stick with it and see what happens!

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.
Price paid $15.00

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. :-(

Pros It has started to clear my skin but I don't no if Im just having a good week or not. I really hope it will clear my skin fully and will stay that way. I dont need it for sex as Im to young for that, I only went on it to clear my skin.
Cons I think It's made my moods bad, like depression but im not sure it thats just me or not. And I use to weigh about 57kg and I now weigh 60kg so I have put on a little weight But that could also just be me eating too much or something.
Bottom line Im on my 3rd month now and If my skin isnt clear by the end of it then I'll probably go off it. It really depends on the person, it works for some but not the other. So try it for yourself and see what happens. You never know it could be perfect for you.
