| 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 |

| Pros: | Only on month two so still hopeful. |
| Cons: | The worst skin I have ever had consistantly, at least before I had a day with OK skin, since I have been on this it is constant bad skin, only on my cheeks. Very hard to deal with. |
| Bottom Line: | I will give it another month. It seems like it should get worse before it gets better but we will see. I will not go past 3 months if I am still dealing with this. My skin was not this bad before so it's not worth the wait longer than that. |

| Pros: | Prevents pregnancy. |
| Cons: | This pill made me break out like crazy! I have been off for 3 months and I'm still getting zits. I barely had any acne before I started taking Yasmin. It also made me so depressed, I even contemplated suicide. My sex drive was zilch as well. |
| Bottom Line: | Not bad, if you want to to turn into a horrible, zitty bitch. lol |

| Pros: | no weight changes, no pregnancies |
| Cons: | ACNE, headaches, mood swings. |
| Bottom Line: | I did well with Yasmin back in 2007-08, but went off of it for 6 months b/c I didn't have insurance. Got back on in May 09, and it's been horrible. On my third pack and still have bad acne. Never had it before- could even sleep in makeup, etc. Now I use prescription face wash/meds and its still horrible. I am not responding to it the same as I did a year ago.. not sure if there are different ingredients or what, but it's horrible. Hot flashes, mood swings, headaches... no bloating or cramping though. I will be switching back to ortho tri next month. |

| Pros: | it really cleared up my skin along time ago. I been on this pill about a month and a half. I know exactly when I'm getting my period. No bleeding or stomach cramps. |
| Cons: | I am breaking out like crazy! I heard it takes about 3 months for your body to fully adjust to birth control again. I'm always hungry and I rarely feel full. |
| Bottom Line: | Christy from Raleigh, NC I'm having the same problem as you. I used to be on this pill for about a year and I stopped for a good 4 months and now I'm back on it again and I don't remember if my acne is suppose to get worse before it gets better. I definitely hope so especially since it really cleared up my skin in the past. I'll give this 3 full months if not then I'm definitely going off this. Let me know how it's going for you. |

| Pros: | Prevents pregnancy. not been on long enough to tell. kept appetite down, if thats a symptom. |
| Cons: | breakout(all under the skin, so bumpy effect), especially forehead and a lot on upper neck, behind ears.
Increase facial hair =( not v. noticeable
breakout bleeding for the whole first month. |
| Bottom Line: | Now that I think about it, it really has increased my acne. It may just be during bleeding though... and maybe the pill needs a few months to work. |

| Pros: | Regulate periods, pregnancy prevention, acne control |
| Cons: | nausea, stomach cramps, feeling sick |
| Bottom Line: | I have only been on this pill for 4x days (afrter being off the pill for over a year? my doctor prescribed this to treat adult acne after a stressful 6 months which had brought it on. I am only going to give it another week as i dont know if i can handle the nausea and wanting to vomit along with stomach pains. I was previously on Dianne 35 of which i didnt suffer from any of these symptoms. |

| Pros: | Not pregnant (even though I missed a pill here or there). No weight gain. Greatly helped PMS/PMDD mood swings! Has not decreased my sex drive. |
| Cons: | My face started to break out, and I didn't have acne before. Severe leg cramps and breakthrough bleeding that is almost constant. |
| Bottom Line: | Good for prevention of pregnancy, though that might be because I'm bleeding all the time. I've been on it for 3 mos and am switching soon if the bleeding doesn't stop. |
