Pros:

I don't know yet!

Cons:

ACNE

I have been using this BC for about one week. Since then I have been getting big size pimples without puss on both checks. They really hurt and have lasted about three days. Plus my insurance did not cover most of it. $20 co-pay is higher than other BC pills. 3 months supply costed me $60. I am used to a $10 a month for BC.

Pros:

Fresh complexion... no acne, protects against pregnancy

Cons:

moody.. mood swings tghe first month...

Very good for clearing up my skin.. My skin is amazing.. even the little bumps are gone. Only issue.. it makes me extremely cranky the 1st month. The adjusting to hormones is probably the issue. I began working out and it made me feel alot better

Pros:

Less Acne, feeling a lot happier

Cons:

None yet

Diane 35 made me break out BIGTIME! was horrilby depressed and wouldn't see any of my friends. I switched to Yasmin a couple of weeks ago and the acne has calmed down already. I wish I had changed earlier then I wouldn'y have so many scars but at least there aren't bumps and lumps all over the place!! The cycstic acne is clearing and am greatful for the change. Sorry to hear the news isn't great girls but maybe have a talk to the doc and see if something else suits as Diane is mainly for skin problems..to prevent and cure not create acne. Everyone is different I suppose but I am feeling a lot happier and all the best for you girls. Good luck guys!!

Pros:

Beautiful skin, PMS gone!, more stable moods, small/minor weight loss

Cons:

leg cramps

I was a bit psycho during PMS every month, and this pill made me sane. I really like it. It's only been two months, but my skins has been clear for the first time since pre-puberty. Only thing is that I get leg cramps. Anyone know how to fix this?

Pros:

I guess it does its job in preventing pregnancy.

I've been on Yasmin for about a year. I was on orthotricyclin before that but had to switch because insurance didnt cover it. I do not like yasmin at all. For the first month or two I felt nauseous. That went away but now I have absolutely no sex drive and I have several spider veins on my legs and i'm only in my early twenties! The only semi good thing is it kind of clears up acne, but not as well as ortho.

I love this product. I have not had any weight gain or anything. No side effects at all. I take it in the morning, usually on an empty stomach and it works great.

Pros:

4 periods a year (if you want), shortest periods

Cons:

spotting, hormonal mood swings, night sweats?, doesn't help acne at all... might make it worse

I took OTC for 8 years, recently instructed my Dr that it wasn't helping my acne anymore and she told me that after time your body adapts and it may not have the same effects. She switched me to Yasmin and told me i could control my periods better by only having them every 10 weeks. My skin has become terribly broken out in the past year I've been taking these. I also recently realized that I have begun having night sweats that may be due to this pill. Terrible mood swings and mild depression seem to be common to other users of this pill and not just me. I'm going to change pills the next time I see my Dr.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Acne, longer period, bad mood

I started using Yasmin pills a week ago, and I still have my period. It is unusual for me tho, it always lasts for 4-5 days. I have also noticed a few spots on my face and I had my face complitely clean for about a year, after I stopped using this fondation. I was wondering, is it ok to stop taking the pills now, after 7 days, or I have to wait to take all 21? Is my face is going to become even worses after that? Please help, answer, this is killing me.

Pros:

Cramping wasn't as bad as other pills. Didn't seem to effect my mood. Great marketing.

Cons:

Horrible skin. Cystic acne on my jawline and cheeks. Whiteheads around my chin and increased blackheads.

It depends on your individual hormones. I went on Yasmine because I heard it made your skin clearer. I was having some problems with OrthoTricycline (mainly cramping, bloating) and OrthTricycline-Lo (same plus acne), and Yasmine made my skin the worst it have ever been and had to start Retin-A. I thought it would get worst then better, but after 10 months and no results I switched to Desogen recently and have already seen an improvement.

Cons:

HORRIBLE ACNE

I started Yasmin SPECIFICALLY to clear up my ACNE, but it's actually gotten WORSE. Ever since using Yasmin, LARGE acne have popped up along my jaw and around my mouth! I never used to get such massive ones! What's going on? Does it get better after a couple of months??
