Pros:

slight increase in breast size

Cons:

serious bloating, nausea, vomiting, spotting, acne breakouts, moody

i'm currently into my third week of birth control and i have not seen any improvements. the first week i've experienced bloating, spotting and an increase in acne (on my back i got huge ones that are painful.) i used to be on yasmin and it worked wonderfully. so i went back on it, and now its a completely different story. i have insurance so for a 3 month supply i paid like 15 dollars.

Pros:

Prevents pregnancy, no water retention,helped my migraines

Cons:

SEVERE depression & moodiness, skin tag, breakthrough bleeding

I did get slightly bigger boobs, and no weight gain. It cleared up my face, but I got more breakouts in places I never had acne (neck, chest back). The biggest problem is depression and moodiness. This is making me miserable & reclusive. I am not the same person anymore. I am going to switch now, but not sure what to.

Pros:

at first I noticed less bloating and I knew when my periods were coming.

Cons:

I started taking it for acne and it made it a great deal worse. Horrible cramps and heavier periods.

I will never take it again.

Pros:

shorter period

Cons:

severely tender breasts, mood swings

I have used this product for over 3 years, and my skin has become seriously dried out and I have continuous acne. Gained wait at first, but I drastically changed my diet and have lost weight. My mood swings in the last year have become more severe.

Pros:

skin clearer, boobs bigger, less headaches

Cons:

sick, maybe moody?? HUNGRY!!! sore boobs

I have been on Yaz for 2 months only. I did not realize til reading this post, that some of the affects I may be having could be due to Yaz. I have never had previous side effects of bc. I do, however, fell sick consistently and am hungry all the time. I LOVE my new boobs, they are back to where they were before I nursed, they are sore all the time, though. My skin looks clearer and I don't know if it is coincidence but I haven't had a migraine headache for several weeks (I used to get them 1-2 times a week)....hmmm....oh yeah, and I am bloated. Maybe that's because I am eating so much to curve the hungry appetite I IMMEDIATELY noticed and contributed to Yaz

Pros:

With all that said below there are no pros that any other birthcontrol pill can't do.

Cons:

Very moody, significant weight gain, doesn't really help my acne. I am about to start Isotretinoin (a really strong vitamin A).

I have only taken it for a month and I like it, however I have gained a lot of weight within a month. I didn't know my period would stop, that might be a plus for others. My mood swings are controlable.

Pros:

cleared up my acne... i could see my freckles once again! also, kind of an appetite suppressant, can be taken 3 packs at a time, no pms really

Cons:

badly decreased sex drive (after 3 year on yasmin), put me in weird moods--light depression, still had cramps (the reason I was on it in the first place)

I have been off Yasmin for a month, and my sex drive is back! I am in a better mood now, but I have a bigger appetite now and my face has broken out again! I'm considering switching to a different bc, but if you are using it to clear your skin and don't need a sex drive, I would recommend it.
