Pros:

Didn't get pregnant while I was on it.

Cons:

Gave me complicated, cyst-like acne that is persisting 9 months after having stopped taking the pill.
Became depressed while on this pill (as well as any other pill I have ever tried, so this result is probably not typical).

Absolutely hated it. I have only been more moody while I was on Alesse. My skin was crystal clear prior to starting the pill and it ended up ruining my complexion and now I have many scars because of it.

Pros:

no weight changes, no pregnancies

Cons:

ACNE, headaches, mood swings.

I did well with Yasmin back in 2007-08, but went off of it for 6 months b/c I didn't have insurance. Got back on in May 09, and it's been horrible. On my third pack and still have bad acne. Never had it before- could even sleep in makeup, etc. Now I use prescription face wash/meds and its still horrible. I am not responding to it the same as I did a year ago.. not sure if there are different ingredients or what, but it's horrible. Hot flashes, mood swings, headaches... no bloating or cramping though. I will be switching back to ortho tri next month.

Pros:

Cleared skin, lighter perods no weight gain actually lost a few pds on it.

Cons:

breasts tenderness, nausea for the first 3 months on it.

Stopped taking last year because of the potential serious side effects. My acne is really bad now tried other methods going to derm and taking antibiotics and topical creams but it didnt have the same results as i did with yasmin. Yasmin really cleared my skin will go back on it.

Pros:

Skin improved after only a few days use

Cons:

Moodiness, Anxeity, Nasuea

Hoping the moodiness and anxeity go away! Life has enough stress to offer, no one needs the added anxeity. My poor husband! lol Will try it for the rest of the month. It may not be worth the nice skin.

Pros:

Not pregnant, period is no longer as painful, boobs grew a lot:|

Cons:

weight gaaaain, terrible weight gain, i never had acne, and now i do

I started out decently thin, and no acne on my face at all, occasionally i would get a pimple here and there. My mother today has mentioned how my face is brutal and i need to get off, as well as the weight gain, i won't be on this much longer, i've never had side effects such as this before, alysse was pretty bad with how often i got my period, this one is brutal for everything else

Pros:

Not pregnant. Predictable periods.

Cons:

Horrible facial acne. Huge painful under the skin zits that take weeks to deflate. Sore breasts two weeks in to every new pack. Some lower abdominal pain before period begins. Constipation.

My moods are ok but I HATE what it's doing to my skin. I'm broke out all the time, not just during my cycle but all the time. Once my 4 month trial is up I'm not staying on this pill. Ugh, will I ever find one that works. Tried Triphasil, Loestrin, and Femcon all have side effects I can't live with acne being the most important.
