Pros:

lighter periods, no pregnancy

Cons:

increased appetite, severe mood swings, gained 17 lbs on YAZ in 8 months, depression,anxiety.. I think this gives you the general idea

I used yasmin for a very long time. It was great at first and then I switched to YAZ to have lighter periods. I had the worst lower abdominal cramping ALL month long. I literally felt like my stuff was going to fall out. The worst part was that my abdomin was cbloating hard core, I had the worst case of water retention all month long and lasted till I stopped taking the pill. People would ask me if I was pregnant because my abdomen was so big.

Pros:

No cramps
Regular meanstrual cycle

Cons:

Made my acne worse
Bloating
Moodswings

I had used Yasmin 2 years ago. I asked my doctor to prescribe something that's going to prevent pregnancy and help my skin get clear. It gave me very painful cystic acne on my face and shoulders (which is a place I never had acne before) after two months of using it I stopped. My friend used it at the same time I did and she had the same problem. The cystic acne took a long time to heal as well...overall, I wasn't happy with it at all...

Pros:

none... well besides i didnt get pregnant

Cons:

headaches, cranky, heavy period, even with insurance was still expensive

I am bipolar and this is the worst birth control for someone who has a mood disorder. First of all the first three days of taking it i had the worst headache of all time. And then when i was on the 'period' pills the headache came back even worse!!! I was so cranky, it interacted with my meds REAL BAD, it almost counter acted them. It was like I wasn't taking mood disorder meds at all the way i was acting and feeling towards people. This stuff is awful my skin stayed the same and i was just more of a bitch with terrible headaches

Pros:

No babies, pregnancy breasts

Cons:

Depression, anxiety, panic attacks, horrible weight gain. Since going off of it I have not had a period, I am so bloated I look 3 months pregnant. I had never had a problem with acne, my skin is so disgusting. My pregnancy breast have gone up to DD.

Do not take this BC and I feel like there should be some class action suit. This pill has changed my life for the worst. I feel like I have fallen apart at 34.

Pros:

No weight gain

Cons:

Bad break outson my cheeks only, first week. Bit moody.

I hear that your skin clears up after the first 3months, so I'm hopeful that it will because I can't stand these big painful zits. It makes me feel moody, and ugly.

Pros:

Only on month two so still hopeful.

Cons:

The worst skin I have ever had consistantly, at least before I had a day with OK skin, since I have been on this it is constant bad skin, only on my cheeks. Very hard to deal with.

I will give it another month. It seems like it should get worse before it gets better but we will see. I will not go past 3 months if I am still dealing with this. My skin was not this bad before so it's not worth the wait longer than that.
