Pros:

Creates only tiny mood change, reduces acne (tho I still need antibiotics) & is anti-androgenic. I have tried several combined pills (marvelon, mercilon ++) and they made me depressed/spotty/fat. No weight gain (but bigger boobs) with Yasmin.

Cons:

Occasional spotting if you run several packs together to avoid having periods, (probably) slightly higher risk of SERIOUS side effects (blood clots, lung problems) so be sure you're super healthy before using this one. I've read plenty of research...

The best I have tried by miles, as doesn't create as bad mood swings as other pills (for me). As with all pills, you MUST give it 2-3 months for your body to get used to it. Your body will revolt at first, which is normal. I've been on it for years. People in the UK beware: this drug is one of the more expensive brands, thus your doctor will be reluctant to prescribe it as it'll cost them, but of course this could also be cos you're particularly prone to the risks I mentioned in the cons. No harm in asking why the doc is saying no! It's the most popular pill in many northern European countries where the pill is not free, which says something. You'll probably only fully appreciate Yasmin if you've been on other pills before that did not agree with you.

Pros:

Within two months has cleared up my skin, but am seeking dermatological help as well.

Cons:

I think weight gain and I cry at the drop of a hat. Having some focusing issues. Don't know if this is Yasmine.

I'm going to use it for one more month until I see the Dermatologist again. My face is definetly clearer but my boyfriend and friends cannot take my mood swings...I'm tired of crying all the time! Will see if I continue or switch to something else.

Pros:

I have no idea how well it works. I am starting my pack tomorrow.

Cons:

None....yet.

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen. I gain about 20 pounds. Which is not good since I am only 4'11". I just swith to Yasmin. I am hoping that I don't gain any weight and that I don't get any acne. I have clear skin, I want to keep it that way.

Pros:

I've had bad acne forever. Yasmin is the only thing that ever helped it. Also shorter and more regular periods, less bleeding and sometimes less cramps.

Cons:

Unfortunately I developed pretty bad irritable bowel syndrome from the pill.

I went off the pill 4 months ago - my irritable bowel has gotten a lot better, but my face is breaking out worse than ever. My friend switched to Yasmin a few months ago and is getting crazy yeast infections. Bottom line is everyone is different and you have to keep trying until you find the best pill for your body.

Major Breakouts, Very Moody, Crampy heavier periods
