Pros:

regular/lite flow, no major cramps, no weight gain, gives me more peace of mind...no babies! :)

Cons:

very, very little pills (sucks if you drop one)

All and all i would reccomend yasmin, it was the second pill i tried and it definitly made more pierods more regular and pretty lite. I have always had bad skin, but i think since i've been on it it has been better (or it might be my face cream?), but i know it definitly did not make it worse. i think it made me a little more hungry the week before my pierod, but its alright bc i know when that week will be every month. I dont think i get mooody or depressed on it, but i also take it at night so i may not notice as much. with insurance it is only $15, but i dont have insurance this month so im curious to see how much.

Pros:

I have now been on YAZ for 3 months and ALL of my PMS/PMDD symptoms have disappeared.

Cons:

The only bad side effect has been a lower sex drive, but my husband and I agree that my sanity is most important. We have a strong relationship and can work out the sex issue.

I am 47 & had been experiencing perimenopauseal symptoms' mood swings, crying, anger, anxiety & depression. I had not had severe PMS/PMDD problems since in my early 20's. My doctor wanted to put me on anti-depressants, but I wanted to get to the root of the problem. I tried natural options, soy, exercise, herbs'I saw slight improvement. Then over the last yr & 1/2 I have taken 5 birthcontrols. I experienced breast pain, bloating, migraine headaches & still PMS/PMDD! I cried, avoided friends & family, quit activities I normally enjoyed. I researched PMS & found that those who had PMS in their teens/20's could see it return during Perimenopause. I found out about YAZ and it's treatment of PMS/PMDD. I thank the Lord for this product! This is the 3rd month I've taken it and ALL of my symptoms have disappeared! I strongly encourage women who are in their 40's & are experiencing PMS/perimenopauseal symptoms to ask your doctor about YAZ. It worked for me!

Pros:

Yasmin is the only way I have found to stabilize my hair loss. I went on Yasmin 9 years ago. Recently my Dr. took me off and sure enough my hair started to fall out again. I am back on but need to get my BP under control.

Cons:

When I go to the Dr.'s I sometimes have borderline high blood pressure, now Dr. is always saying that I might not be able to stay on pill.

Great, if it agrees with your body chemistry.

Pros:

Skin has cleared up almost completly, also has a very smooth and soft texture. It is an effective form of birth control. No periods!( I cycle the pills)

Cons:

A little bit of weight gain, and some moodiness and depression. The skin on my face feels a little bit dry sometimes and needs extra lotion. You have to remember to take them everyday.

I love it. It is amazing to finally be able to touch the skin on my face and it feels smooth. There were small bumps all over my face as well as larger ones here and there and they never went away no matter what I did. Since starting on Yaz my skin has gradually cleared up and I feel like a different person. It's great.

Pros:

I have been on Yaz for 3 months now and it has really cleared up my skin. It took time but I'm really happy with the results. Yaz also does not cause any bloating or PMS symptoms. I also use Differin Gel and really like this too.

Cons:

Prescriptions are expensive. Insurance does not always cover the cost. It's worth it to me to pay a little more for healthy skin.

I really like Yaz and will stick with this as long as I need it. I'm happy that my skin is clearning up and accredit it to Yaz and to Differin Gel.

Pros:

Big Boobs... better skin... cystic acne cleared and better mood.

Cons:

sore boobs, very low libido,occasional migraine, weight gain, great appetite and sleepiness.

Don't be scared... I bled for almost two weeks when I started taking it... I had 3 huge mosquito bite like acne on my face and I was very emotional on the first week but that was because my system was just adjusting to the pill. I thought of stopping but on the 2nd week, my mood improved, my blackheads disappeared, my over all skin clearer and my boobs were at least half a cup bigger. I have been battling with PMDD for almost a year now and it has greatly affected my life and my marriage. I didn't want to do anything, hated everyone and just depressed 2 weeks out of each month. I have heard of Yasmin and Yaz to help with severe PMS but I wanted to treat it naturally. But I just couldn't take it any longer so I tried Yasmin. It's like an answer to my prayers. It's freaking out my husband because he's never seen me this happy but our sex life is suffering. Actually I thought my libido was unshakable... but it really is making my sex drive really low (close to none)

Pros:

No vomiting, works well, no nausea. Have not experienced any depression.

Cons:

I have taken Yasmin on and off and whenever I quit I experience intense abdominal pain for about a week and the last time I quit I broke out lightly with acne that when squeezed, white stuff came out that was pasty. It cleared up quickly tho.

It's worked well for me. I'm only mean and angry when someone hurts me, I've always been that way. First BC that didn't make me throw up the first day. Haven't experienced any bad side effects except abdominal pain and a mild breakout when i stopped, which was awkward for me since I use Clearasil Ultra products and haven't had bad acne in 3 years. I also have a small what appears to be a cyst next to my mouth that I think is causing the acne and wasn't there before. Other than that I've been content with Yasmin and don't really have many problems with it.
