Pros:

lighter period, no cramps

Cons:

increased appetite, strange pain in legs, diminished sex drive

the fact is, that all combination pills kill the sex drive. the reason being, that they stop the production of androids (malehormones in woman) that cause the sexdrive. This is why acne clears out as well. Even the official pages say, that Yasmin works byt "tricking" the body thinking it is already pregnant. What does a pregnant lady do? Eat, and again eat. I am worried about the leg cramps, probably will endure the pms and period pain so I can feel healthy and normal again. So wont continue.

Pros:

Prevents pregnancy

Cons:

Serious cramps and blood clots... 2 periods during the first month

I had previously been on yasmin about a year ago, but I was so careless I just didn't take them all the time. I just got back on them after I had my daughter and they are already giving me problems I am on my period for the second time this month. And I have huge blood clots and it is very painful. Everyone is different... read about the health risks on both yasmin and yaz, they are very shocking! If u are having serious side effects u can possibly get compensation!

Pros:

Helped control acne, lighter periods, feel great on it

Cons:

If i forget a pill my skin looks worse the next day..other than that its great.

I have had severe acne for over 3 years and nothing worked that my dermatologist perscribed. I needed to go on BC so she told me to try this. My skin dramatically cleared! I have like one or two zits when I get my period but other than that my skin is very smooth. The lighter periods are a plus too!

Pros:

less oily skin/acne

Cons:

Chest pains!, muscle spasms, headaches, have to pee alot (yasmin has a diruetic in it which makes you lose water), I think i got ever side effect other in the book and I on it for only 1 month!!

Hate this pill! I've been on BC in the past and never had so many side effects. Ended up in the ER 3 nights ago because of the chest pains. All tests were normal, but I'm still feeling it. NOT WORTH IT!!! Some people have no problems, but if you do a internet search on yasmin you'll find alot of negative comments... more than any other pill. I wish I had done my research before choosing this pill.

Pros:

Significant improvement in skin after 2 months of use.
No more breakouts :)- SKIN IS SOOO SOFT!!
Regulated period

Cons:

elongated my period by a day
didn't clear left over red marks

****I'm rating this as A SKIN CARE PRODUCT, NOT A CONTRACEPTIVE!!!! -Try it. There is not much improvement in the first month, but after 2 you realllly see it. My skin is much less oily and I haven't broken out in weeks. I'll still break out a tiny tiny bit during my period, but the pimple or 2 will be gone in about 2 days. This has been the ONLY thing that has worked for me. I turned to BC as a last resort, not wanting to use it because i was afraid of weight gain and other side effects but I have experienced none but breast tenderness before my period. My skin is so smooth I can't even believe it is my face.

Pros:

Didn't get knocked up. Score.

Cons:

I was prescribed this when I was 19 and living in Florida and now 10 years and 5000 miles later, I've gained 40 pounds from it.

I recently went off because its not healthy to have your body assume you're in a constant state of pregnancy and therefore the ovaries won't release eggs. Take into account that in studies, women on average gained 7-10 pounds a year on Yasmin. I never got acne or weird werewolf-like hair growth and it did the job. Initially I lost about 10 pounds because I'd be so nauseaus after taking it, but oh, that soon ended. The price started at $25 for me and before I left for Ireland 3 years ago it was $65 a month. The government should be paying me for being responsible and not bringing random children into the world like others.
