Pros:

Skin is looking a bit better

Cons:

extremely ANGRY 24/7, ance may be a bit better but getting huge cysts on my face which is I never got before, and yeah main con is angryness - I find little things said to me really offensive

I've used Yasmin for a month and nw I can't decide whether to continue using it or not. I'm only using it for my skin and so far I'm not sure if there's an improvement but it seems to feel smooth and clearer BUT been getting cysts in random places I never got acne before on my face. The month before I started using Yasmin I started trying to lose weight and lost 3kg which I was so happy about but the month I started using Yasmin I didn't loose any weight - even though I stepped up my exercising for the month before 30-1hr exercise a day (did some massive bike rides) and ate healthy. I think Yasmin made me not loose anymore weight. And my mood swings are crazy at the moment I am angry at everyone and everything!

Pros:

Shorter, lighter, predictable periods. No mood swings, no acne.

Cons:

***Frequent yeast infections!!!***

Great pill except for the fact that I will get a yeast infection every week except for the week on my period! Went to the doctors, they couldn't tell me anything. No burning or itching, just thick, pasty white discharge. Vaginal dryness was also a problem. Changing birth control pill this month...can't take it anymore. Would recommend this pill IF you don't get the recurring infection.

Pros:

Regular period, no pregnancy

Cons:

I got really bad acne on my shoulders and back, something I have NEVER had before. I stopped taking the pill but the back acne will not go away. I also had an increased appetite, poor sleep, and water retention.

All of the literature says that Yasmin should not cause the problems it caused in me... but it has. So, I guess I would just caution anyone that side effects can and do occur. I would like to find a better method of BC. I am not very hopeful right now.

Pros:

No mood swings!
No nausea, headaches, or anything!
Not tired!
Sex drive!!

Cons:

Breakout
Constantly thirsty!
Hungry!
Really expensive without insurance :(

So, I just finished my first week of Yasmin and the reason I'm on it is only because of acne. I'm not sexually active, but the reason I put "sex drive" as a pro is because I've been so much hornier lately..so I put 2 and 2 together :) a couple months ago I was on Ocella, and it was my frist time taking birth control. Ocella cleared my skin up! I was always hungry and craved milk, which was weird, but I didn't care because my face was clearing up. Then I stopped for a while, and broke out bad ( P.S. I've had acne ever since I started puberty). So I decided to get on Yasmin because if Ocella worked for me, then Yasmin would do wonders right? Well I've been on it for a week now, and like the second day, I started breaking out :( But now it's the end of my first week and I've noticed it's starting to heal.. My face isn't as oily anymore, and I believe oily skin is PRONE to acne. So if my face isn't oily anymore, my acne should start really clearing up soon :) I'll keep everyone posted!! Mwahs

Pros:

They told me this one is still Yasmin but its called Zarah? Scared to take it any further though because my mom died of blood clots so anything associated with that makes me worry big time. My skin looks alot clearer though but i never had issues much to begin with. My breasts seem a bit larger. Sex drive is increased! Also on Prenatal vitamins for anemia due to a super heaver monster period last month. I want to give it a good try but i wonder if the side effects will lessen?

Cons:

Leg Cramps!, Sore Breasts,Back pain,General overall achey feelings, Crave sweets more and salty stuff, Stomach Cramps from hell, Diarrea. So far thats what i have noticed. No weight gain yet and i pray that i dont!! Iv'e been trying to lose weight and have been doing well so i dont want to go backwards.

Pricey! A 3 month prescription costed me about $200.00!! I want to give it a good try and hope for the best but reading other reviews have kind of scared me. I know we are all different "Bodies" but yikes!
