Pros:

prevents pregnancy

Cons:

My skin has started braking out a lot, I hardly EVER had pimples before taking yasmin but hey I guess everyones different

The first month went ok other than the increased mood swings but that lasted about a week. But now Im almost done with the second pack and havnt stopped bleeding since I started it, and Im due for my period again in a few days, as a matter of fact I think I may have started today cuz cramping got worse but I cant tell, its that bad, im getting a little concerned. guess Ill ride it out through the third month and see what happens and see if I need to change brands or get off, hopefully the acne will subside too.

Pros:

Doesn't seem to be causing any mood problems. I have a history of depression and was concerned that it would aggrevate it; to date, however, it has not.

Cons:

My skin is a mess! I normally have clear skin and it has caused acne all over my face.
Weight gain - only about 5 pounds, but annoying just the same.
Reduced libido. Not significantly, but noticable.

It always seems to be such an individual matter when it comes to birth control... I'm uncertain yet as to whether or not I would recommend it, given that there are such a wide range of pills available, there may be a more suitable alternative - at least for me.

Pros:

prevented pregnancy, lightened periods, shortened periods

Cons:

acne flared, sometimes nausea, headaches

I had a bad experience with pregnany about 6 mos ago and decided that I dont want to go through it again and asked my mom to put me on birth control. I asked for YAZ because it basically took the edge off of periods. I asked my doctor, she gave me YAZMIN, I gave my perscription to the pharmacy and they gave me OCELLA. Its now tearing up my complexion. Before it was just me noticing, now my boyfriend is! I personally hate my birth control, grant it, it works, but its ruining my complexion and its getting embarassing to walk out in public. Not to mention the on again, off again nausea. My boyfriend sometimes freaks out because of how sick I get, Ill vomit for hours off and on, Ill bloat, I wont eat for days and I lose weight too quickly. Half of the time he makes me buy a pregnancy test just to make sure Im not pregnant. This is supposed to prevent pregnancy (it does :]) but it makes me feel like I am and personally, I can only deal with so many scares.

Pros:

No babies, Cleared acne, no weight gain, gave me a more womanly figure, periods were normal and always at the same time.

Cons:

Anxiety.

Worked really great for me! It even made me less hairy haha! I guess it really depends whether or not its right for you. It never gave me extra acne, no mood swings. One time i took 2 pills in one day by accident (this was the first day back on the pill) and i barfed all night long.

Pros:

cramps are gone, period is predicatble,

Cons:

hasn't done nothing for my acne

Yasmin is my first birth control and honestly i dont' feel anything most users described (depression, anxiety, ect) . The only thing i hated was it didnt' do anything for my face, of which was the whole reason i started yasmin and of course my cramps. i been on yasmin for about 5 or 6 months.

Pros:

Birth Control

Cons:

I broke out in little bumps (looked like sweat bumps) all over my cheeks. Depression, Mood Swings like CRAZY.. made me get angry all the time over nothing.

I got on this pill because most of my friends got on it and told me how it cleared their skin but it ended up messing up my hormones even more and made me break out all over my cheeks, once i stopped my skin cleared up. Mood swings and depression were another side effect. but i heard it works very well on other people so I guess it just depends what works for you..

Pros:

bigger chest, clearer skin, healthy hair, no cramps, regular periods

Cons:

dry skin, increased appetite

if you know when your body needs food, as opposed to when it wants it you will be fine. i have been on it for about 2 months in the first month i gained a kilogram but dropped it virtually straight away.
