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.

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.

Pros:

I love this birth control!!! I had taken it for 6 years after I had my first son and I had lighter periods, mild cramps and CLEAR Skin!! I just started it up again after my 2nd child...no new symptoms so far...

Cons:

After I stopped the pills to have a baby I got bad acne I couldn't wait to get back on my pills!

I Absolutley LOVE yasmin! I recommend it to all my friends, in fact I have 1 friend that switched to it and loves it! I took it for 6 years, went off to have a baby and now im back on it. I went back for a reason! It did me great :)

Pros:

No mood swings

Cons:

Difficultly in remembering to take it

I used to use antibiotics when I had acne flare up and oxytetracycline used to work well but now I think I have become immune to it. I haven't had acne for many years but suddenly in the last few months I started to get so many spots on my forehead and right cheek. I went to the doctors and she suggested using Yasmin because antibitotics were not working anymore. I have used it for nearly a month and I haven't seen any improvements yet. I was just wondering how long I have to wait to see at least some kind of improvement. I really want my skin clear for summer because there is nothing worse than having to apply layers of makeup when it is hot.

Pros:

My period is predictable

Cons:

I haven't had a break out this bad since puberty, occasional nausea which can be avoided if I take it at night.

I'm about a month and a half into using Yasmin and am getting hit hard by the whole "getting worse before it gets better" breakouts. I'm determined to stick it out but I have to admit, I would love nothing more than to hide out for the next month or two for all this purging to pass. I'm doing this only to improve my acne, I would gladly take on more side effects if this actually yields results. We'll see how it goes, in the meantime if anyone else out there has Yasmin success stories as far as clearing up acne is concerned, I'd LOVE to hear more of them; I need all the motivation I can get right now. ps- ratings/recommendation subject to change...

Pros:

My period come RIGHT on time. Light period. Skin is better than before.

Cons:

I was on Diane 35 for about 7 months. And I gained about 10-15 pounds. And it helped my skin, but I wanted to see if Yasmin 28 could be better. Yasmin also made me gain/stay the same weight. But Yasmin is helping with my skin. It is not TOTALLY clear

I like this product. And will most likely stay on it because I hate switching pills. Works well for my skin. And keeps my breakouts to a minimum ( although I do still get breakouts now and then).

Pros:

Obviously this pill is very different for me. I have lost a lot of weight. was 125 now almost 100. My mood is pretty much the same.

Cons:

It hasn't done anything for my skin, which is why I started taking it.

It's supposed to help clear my skin and hasn't...yet. Just makes my periods normal.

Pros:

It works well as a birth control and to regulate your period.

Cons:

It did not help w/ acne. Made me really depressed for the first few months... like random crying and things.

Don't use Yasmin to clear up acne. I was on it for 4 years and just went off three weeks ago. My skin has cleared up. Still have blackheads but haven't had a new zit since I stopped it.
