Pros:

My boobs are bigger, skin is clearing up, and no babies!

Cons:

I'm hungry ALL of the time, it's hungry like I'll eat then have to eat in an hour or two. (But I'm seemingly only gaining wieght in my breast and bottom.)

It's good, the hunger pains are horrible, and moodiness is not fun at all. I cry now, I never cried before. Over all it's good to clear skin, and regulate periods but the hunger can be annoying. Good luck!

Pros:

acne clearing up after only 2 weeks, gained a couple of pounds (a pro for me because Ive always been a bit to thin) No babies!

Cons:

feeling down in the dumps more often than usual, frequent headaches (atleast once a week I get a blinding one that will last for hours)
Random spotting

If your acne bothers you as much as mine has always haunted me - than anything is worth fixing it! So far so good with this pill. My skin has cleared up almost completely and Ive been on it for just a month. And the cons - well they might not have anything to do with being on this pill, so I wouldnt let that deter you.

Pros:

helped pcos symptoms, happiness, shorter periods,

Cons:

headaches. when i dropped 20 pounds, i started to experience nausuea [4th month], extreme decline in sex drive

Took 2 months to see difference in PCOS symptoms, but it worked. For some reason instead starting my period on day 22, i start on day 25 and i end on next month's day 2. Im assuming the more you weigh, the less severe the symptoms are. Made me much happier for reasons im not sure of. And a huge decline in sex drive. But thats ok becasue i feel i can concentrate better that way [it was really high before] About the cost, its 5 dollars for every 3 months with my insurance.

Pros:

Shorter periods, less pain

Cons:

Soreness of breasts

This my 3rd month of using yasmin. I started taking it because i wanted to come off of antibiotics-they keep my skin clear (only the random pimple)but i'm not comfortable with using it on an extended basis. I still use Retin-A though. My friend recommended yasmin. It was supposed to help the oiliness of my skin. I have seen a slight improvement in that, nothing drastic as yet. I'm going to give it 6 months before I decide. What I do not like is the soreness of my breasts. They swell around the second week of the pack and are really sore during that time. They also go back to normsl size the week after my period. I still get the random breakout as well.

Pros:

lighter periods, not as many mood swings, easy to swallow,skin slowly improves.

Cons:

at first i broke out VERY badly. However by the end of the 2nd month, it starts to get better. Makes you feel sleppy at times.

I have to wait to see after 5 months if it works well for my skin. So far i like it. You know your body best, so in the end it's up to you.
