Pros:

Decreased acne noticeably and quickly, effective birth control, light short periods

Cons:

pre-menstral moodiness and tension not improved.

After dealing with moderate acne for over a year using Levlen BC pill...I finally switched to Yasmin and now have light and manageable acne after 4 months and I hope it will get even better. The improvement was rapid and I felt and looked much better after 2 months. I would recommmend switching to this if you are on a traditional pill and dealing with bad acne - chances are that the problem is hormonal.

Pros:

Prevents acne, lessens oil (just a bit)

Cons:

Inital breakout

I'm on my 3rd month of OCELLA, the generic version. Luckily I know the cause of my acne, which is due to too many androgens/imbalanced hormones. The first two months of this pill, I did have an initial breakout--but I stuck with it. The IB has gradually been decreasing and I'm expecting it to stop completely by the end of Month 4. I noticed a significant decrease in oil on my face the first two months, but now it is now less significant (not sure why; maybe the chaning of the seasons). I DID NOT have any of the typical negative effects of birth control...nausea, headaches, etc. It was smooth sailing from the start (this is my first time on BC). Oh and my periods last only 3 or 4 days! So basically this birth control have been "my cure". I usually don't review things for fear or jinxing them, but I had to add my positive experience for the benefit of others...I now *knock on wood* after this whole review!

Pros:

Bigger breasts, less acne, less cramps and of course no pregnancy, thicker, nice hair.

Cons:

weight gain (!) period last 7 days (!) instead of my normal 3-4 days. Has done nothing yet for my pmdd, but haven't been on it long enough, bit nauseated

So far so good, I am not happy at ALL with the weight gain and the loooong period though! But I heard that sometimes the body needs to adjust. I am trying it a bit longer. For acne it worked like a charm, it got a bit worse in the first month, but now it's clearing up. And my hair is awesome!

Pros:

Prevented pregnancy

Cons:

I never had acne until I started Yasmin. Now, my acne will never go away, and I have more hair growth on my body.

DO NOT BUY!!!!!! I AM SERIOUS. This is probably one of the worst birth control pills on the market. It has even been proven in some medical trials to be the CAUSE of acne, NOT PREVENTION. Also, I never had a Urinary Tract Infection before I started this pill. However, I got UTIs almost every month. This birth control pill is NOT WORTH THE PRICE--even if it was free. I had to make an appointment with the physician to find a different birth control pill. If the acne doesn't kill you, then the bladder infections will.

Pros:

Didn't get pregnant and got my period on time.

Cons:

My boobs got HUGEE. They grew about a cup size in a month, but they are very sore. I have also been really moody, and have woken up almost every night for the past two weeks with night sweats! I also gained about 5 pounds, especially on my hips&tumm

I am not taking it anymore....the cons are too much for me. I DON'T recommend Yasmin!

Pros:

Regulates period, Balances hormones, clearer skin

Cons:

Taking a pill everyday, Not cheap (even with insurance), Takes a while for results, Possible initial break out

When I had my baby over a year ago my face was frightening. My hormones were wacked, and it lasted even longer cause I breastfed. I had never had such terrible skin in my life. I had tried Yasmin in the past for a couple years and remembered that my skin was pretty good while on it. The minute I stopped breastfeeding I got on it and couldn't wait to get help. After a few months I started to break out less and less and now I am clear. It takes time to work and you have to have patience. There is no miracle product that will cure you overnight. Obviously this will only help if your acne is hormonal related. Use this and a good skin care regimen and it should really work for you.
