Pros:

none

Cons:

mid cycle bleeding, NOT spotting, i need a pad like i have a really light period, acne got extremely BAD in spots I never had it before

Bottom line do NOT pay for this birth control if you don't have severe acne. And if you do, then remember it will take 3 to 6 months for it to kick in so your acne WILL get worse before it gets better. For me, it never got better. I took this pill for 7 days and i had a new acne spot on my face every single day. NOT COOL. Not only that but since going off it, it has completely cleared up! The only down fall to it is that I am still bleeding light. But I will take that over the way I was feeling. It made me feel so depressed and sad and I am so glad I went off it.

Pros:

Typical birth control pros, Helpful for those with PCOS

Cons:

Acne has never been a problem for me, but after taking this pill, i have HORRIBLE acne! I couldn't believe it, I thought it would help my skin rather than hurt it.. I now have large hard pimples on my jaw line and chin!

I'm not certain if this will go away after a while. I have only taken it for a short time, so I am hoping things will change, but this acne has gotta go! - However thanks to great health care the price is cheap, and the active ingredients make this great for those with pcos.

bad skin, felt sick for 3 mths, very tired and going mental sometimes.Short-tempered.

Arghh, my skin is a nitemare.I'm constantly getting spots and pigmentation marks afterwards coz it never heals up properly. I'm just coming off it.Been on Yasmine for 8 mths, felt sick and tired initially, now sickness is better but still tired. Need PM nap now and never before! This bad skin (they come out all over my face especially a jawline and cheeks) and enlarged boobs (I had been cup size c before, gone up to DD) made me to come off it. i have no life with this acne and massive boobs.Got strech marks on them coz grown so rapidly also get back pain. Also extended cellulite although no WT gain. Actually, lost about 4 pounds since getting on. Previously on Microgynon 30. a stone and a half WT gain but no spots.Confused...

Pros:

makes skin looks pretty, regulates period and keeps my weight stable

Cons:

>It gave me acne in places I never had it before.
>Gave me nausea- BAD. The first pack (3 weeks) was all nausea but after then it was okay.
> I definitely had a loss in my sex drive. Which lasted for more than a month.

I use this to regulate my periods and it has done that. I haven't gained weight but it has made me nauseated with a decrease sex drive. And even though I had acne it did clear up in a month or two. But if you need it for regulating your periods, I'd get it.

Pros:

Pregnancy prevention

Cons:

Depression,
major acne Breakouts,
Weight gain,

I'm on the generic Ocella and have heard others comment that only the Yazmin works well. However, I don't understand how this pill could make my acne worse when it's specifically supposed to lower androgrens. :-(

Pros:

Yasmin has been great at preventing pregnancy. It also has completely cleared up my skin...I used to have acne all over my face, but I don't have any since taking Yasmin!!

Cons:

A little expensive for me, but it will depend on your insurance. I switched to the generic form and it works exactly the same for me! So, that has helped save some money.

Try it! It might take some time to find the right birth control pill for you, but Yasmin is worth trying, especially if you are currently suffering from acne.
