I have been taking Yasmin for a month. I am taking it for cramps, moderate acne (before period) and for bloating etc. I'm currently on my period and things are pretty much the same. However I also heard that the pill takes about 4 weeks to have a full effect. Those of you who have JUST started taking the pill, keep this in mind and don't give up after just a few days of taking it. Try it for a couple of months before making a decision about it. I will do the same!

Pros:

Major sex drive increase.....feel like i'm 18 again in that area :) I buy mine overseas for 20 a month.

Cons:

I have a little bleeding mid cycle if i take two months in a row.

I also still bleed heavilyl for two or three days. They are not as light as some pills.

Have been using 5 months for POCS symptoms mostly. It has made all those things go away. I love enjoying sex again...........It's all good here!! I am 39 years old.

Pros:

Helped with my horribly oily skin (and consequently, breakouts), my hair seems to have stopped falling out, increased sex drive, all-around better mood.

Cons:

None yet. Potential of increasing my blood pressure, which is a concern for me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't affect it.

I was on Depo, which made me extremely moody and emotional. Yasmin makes me feel better about myself and has lifted my mood more than I thought possible. My insurance covers it, so for $5 for a 3-month supply, it's worth way more than its cost.

Pros:

Prevents you from becoming pregnant

Cons:

Major depression, loss of appetite

Not worth the money spent! My skin looked great, but i had no appetite. My friends had taken Yasmin and told me that they stopped after 6 months due to depression. Then i too experienced the same emotions after about 4/5 months. Being depressed about nothing is not good! Crying at work over trivial things is also not good and can have a devasting effect on your relationship with others. I have been on the Pill for 14 years and this was the worst pill i have ever taken!

Pros:

I'm not too sure of the pros as yet because i'm using it strickly for acne and my DR said i have to use it for at least 3 months before i start seeing results. But, i also using witch hazel to cleanse my skin and i'm seeing some improvement.

Cons:

I get alot of leg cramps and I'm hungry all day but at the same time have a very upset stomach. I've been experiencing alot of headaches since i've been on the pill.

With the daily headaches and mood swings and upset stomach, i was thing twice about starting another cycle with yasmine it but i eventually decided to stick with it and see if the side effects go away after 3 months.

Cons:

pms, skin still bad

i went on yasmin primarily for my skin. It has not however cleared up, probably because im too self conscious to wait till my skin clears up and not wear heavy makeup.

Pros:

My skin looks 100% better, no weight gain and no irability issues as last BC pill.

Cons:

Lack of sex drive. Fatigue

I have been on the b/c pill for almost 15 years. I have been through 4 different kinds, Yasmin being my 5th. With other pills I have had problems with weight gain, to mood swings and acne issues. I have had the most sucess with Yasmin, aside from the sex drive. The lack of sex drive is causing some issues within my 8 year marriage. I am now starting to contemplate looking for a new form of birt control. Hope this review helps someone.
