Pros:

Not sure yet...it's only been a week...

Cons:

What I have noticed is...aching arms (right one)..nausa..a little moody...hear burn..leg cramps..

I was told side affects could last 2 weeks - 1 month..so I will give it more time..before I make a final decision...but if this continues...

Pros:

My period is somewhat normal now (have tried several other birth control pills only to have increased periods, like one ongoing continuous period). But I've only been on it for 1.5 months, so maybe its still too early to tell.

Cons:

Drastic increase in acne! Cheeks and jawline. I have significant scars now. It hasn't been this way since teenager. And to think I went on this cause I thought it would clear up my acne.

Some say good, some say bad. From what I've read this is not a safe bet. Those that have bad experiences say "Don't try it." Then there are those that have had "good" experiences at first only to develop severe acne after quitting. I'd say if you have strong reactions to other pills then you should stay clear of this one too.

Pros:

Lighter regular periods. When i first started using it i had breakouts but skin looks better after 2 months-not like it used to be.

Cons:

Does not help with mood swings at all. Very very low sex drive!!! Sore boobs week before. Bloated thrue most of the month. Cant get it without prescription.

I first want to finish my prescription i got for 6 months - been using for 3- before i stop this pill. I changed my pill for the mood swings, bloting and weight. Had absolutly no acne. Yasmin did not change my weight, bloating is worse. Happy to see i am not the only one with low sex drive. Would not recomend this to anyone.

Pros:

Not pregnant, breasts are huge, weight loss, and skin partially clearing up.

Cons:

Horrible stomach pains, nausea/ loss of appetite, headache, loss of sex drive, skin not clearing up fast enough...seems stagnant.

The night I decided to start the new pill I read on here the pros and cons. Sometimes the cons outweighed the pros, which scared me. But, hell, I'm adventurous, I tried it anyway. So far, no babies, a little bit better skin, no CRAZY hormonal fits and my breasts grew two cups (my boyfriend is very pleased). The stomach pains, nausea/no appetite and loss of sex drive is something I can do without. But, I'm sure it will get better. All I want now is my skin to get better. I'm sure it just takes time. =/

Pros:

The only pro I can give this product is that I haven't beocme pregnant while on it.

Cons:

I have been taking Yasmin for about 6 months now and my acne had only worsened, I have noe sexual interest with my boyfriend anymore, and I am constantly depressed.

I want to know if it has been proven to do all of these things, and if so why would anyone prescribe it.

Pros:

Regular periods. No cramping. No weight gain. No acne.

Cons:

Increase in mood swings towards the end of the month just before starting my period. I use to use Loestrin and did not experience this. Periods are also longer and heavier on Yasmine than Loestrin Fe 1/20. No weight gain or acne on either pil

I have been on Yasmine for 2 years. I was on the one previous to this (Loestrin) for 6 years and only switched because I was on the other for a while and didnt want its effectivness to decrease. Yasime is a good pill but for me I have experienced more emotional swings than the other pill. Pills effect everyone differently.

Pros:

I have yet to see any so far.

Cons:

I have been terribly irritible and weepy from the time that I have started them - which has only been 3 weeks. I mainly went on to clear up my skin and it has gotten terribly worse! Large cystic like zits around my mouth and on my checks!

I want to go off but I'm afraid it will all get worse.
