Pros:

Almost completely cleared up the acne on my back, made my boobs 2 sizes bigger, reduced the acne on my face & I didn't gain any weight, in fact I lost a kilogram.

Cons:

Didn't completely clear my face as I hoped it would, took over 2 months before I saw any improvement, very expensive- I pay $70 for 3 months worth of pills.

This didn't work as well as I wanted it to. It improved my face but didn't clear it- I still get a few large pimples on my forehead, chin and cheeks. For something so expensive I hoped it would work better. A bit disappointing.

Pros:

Haven't finished full month yet so hard to say.

Cons:

Loss of appetite, broke out really bad, fatigue, stomach pains, no sex drive whatsoever, can't fall asleep at night!

I started Yasmin 3 weeks ago and after the first few days my skin began to break out, then it got really bad the next week, and this third week has been even worse!!! Also since I began taking this it takes me hours to fall asleep (not sure if it's because I always take it right before bed). And I'm finding it difficult to work up an appetite.

Pros:

don't get pregnant, it gives you a regular cycle

Cons:

It gives horrible cramps

Use it if it doesn't give you bad cramps.. It works well.. i guess but I could do without the cramps. I also realized I put on some weight while on this product.

Pros:

Clears skin
Controls period

Cons:

My period lasts for about 6 days :(
Took a while to adjust to the medication..a couple months of moodiness!

I'm taking the generic, Ocella. I really think its a combination of this BC, my regimen, and just growing out of acne. But whatever, I'm really happy with my skin.

Pros:

so good so far

Cons:

i think i'm getting small pimples along my chin and hairline from it, not sure. was very sick the morning after my first pill. was sick in the middle of the night last night.

I've only been taking yasmin for a week and a half but haven't had many problems yet. I am taking it as a form of birth control but requested it from my gyno because i heard it helped acne which I have been fighting for over 13 years now. I have tried EVERYTHING for my problem skin and NOTHING has worked. I am hoping this is it. The only con was the morning sickness but that has happened with every pill I was ever on, plus I recently had a baby so the sickness from the pill was nothing compared to pregnancy sickness. haven't noticed any breast soreness or enlargement but i already have both now anyways from breastfeeding. So I guess I have nothing to report. Sorry. May write another review in a month or so.

Pros:

I have been using Yasmin for 4 days and so far my skin seems a little less oily than normal.

Cons:

None so far.

I was on Spironolactone for 6 months and loved it. I developed a severe skin rash on my arms and legs after being on Spiro for 6 months. I am not sure if the drug caused the reaction but I have been off of it for 3 weeks and my rash has gone away. I am scared to ever go back on Spiro so I am trying Yasmin. When researching Spiro I found several studies that said that it caused tumors in rats!! Scary!! I will update this review after I have been on Yasmin for a month.

Pros:

Bigger boobs (due to weight gain I guess)

Cons:

Weight maintained - as I have been trying to loose weight. I know if I wasn't on it, I would have dropped 3 kg but it is so hard now to loose weight.

Well it works well but weight gain is kinda deal break for me too. If anybody has better option to recommend, please feel free.
