Pros:

Skin looks glowing at times,fewer acne body looks in better shape

Cons:

The only problem I had was the second day I had taken them I had a terrible migraine and I felt so nauseous ugh. Besides that day I was fine.

its my first time taking a birth control pill. I started 3 days ago on Yasmin and so far so good. Thinking positive all the way for all the good results.As I see from other ladys reviews it didn't work so well on them and that's simply because not everybodys body is going to accept the hormones. Everybody's body is different so ladys you won't know unless you try. So people who recommend not to take the "pill" shouldn't be recommending that to anyone as everybody is different and will handle it differently .. Ignorence is BLISS! Good luck girlies!

Pros:

Not pregnant

Cons:

anxiety, depression, sudden unexplainable anger, no sex drive!!!, no temper, spotting, nausea, vomiting, oilier skin, tiredness, dizzyness

I DO NOT recommend this pill! I was on Valette for two and a half year, which was completely agreeable with me, it cleared my skin, gave me energy, and even made my breasts grow a size, but had no side effects. Since I moved to the UK from Germany I had to switch since there is no equal to it here. Since I have been on Jasmine I have been depressed and don't really want to have sex. I am really snappy and generally unhappy for no apparent reason. Kissing my boyfriend is boring, which has never been the case since I love him so much, and it is really putting a strain on our relationship, which was previously unexplainable. My skin is slightly oilier, I am extremely tired, am really anxious, excessively thirsty and have extremely bad digestive problems. Don't take it!

Pros:

No pregnancy

Cons:

Increased Acne and Mood swings

I was prescribed Yasmin because I was breaking out on my face. A month after starting, my breakouts are much worse. In addition, my mood swings are awful. I get angry and irritated very easily. My kids and husband have noticed a difference in me. I just can't control my sadness and frustration. I hope the makers of Yasmin review this board. I'm going to switch pills at my next visit in one month.

Pros:

No Pregnancy.

Cons:

Variable periods (sometimes 3 days, sometimes 7). Horrible mood swings. Uncontrolable crying at times. Severe anger issues. Very low sex drive.

I've been taking Yasmine for about two years (with a break for pregnancy.) Just in the last few months my moods have taken a horrible turn. My husband and I argue alot. I want to go off of it before it hurts my relationship with him and our children.

Pros:

no pregnancy, convenient

Cons:

daughter experienced severe mood swings, anger, depression, couldn't get along with anyone, when she went off it because of a found breast lump which she had removed, she now has moderate acne which she never had at all before.

The list of women who complain of mood swings worries me that my daughter will once again "not be her sweet self" and turn into a hormonal maniac! I wonder if it will clear up her acne soon!!
