Pros:

My period come RIGHT on time. Light period. Skin is better than before.

Cons:

I was on Diane 35 for about 7 months. And I gained about 10-15 pounds. And it helped my skin, but I wanted to see if Yasmin 28 could be better. Yasmin also made me gain/stay the same weight. But Yasmin is helping with my skin. It is not TOTALLY clear

I like this product. And will most likely stay on it because I hate switching pills. Works well for my skin. And keeps my breakouts to a minimum ( although I do still get breakouts now and then).

Pros:

Obviously this pill is very different for me. I have lost a lot of weight. was 125 now almost 100. My mood is pretty much the same.

Cons:

It hasn't done anything for my skin, which is why I started taking it.

It's supposed to help clear my skin and hasn't...yet. Just makes my periods normal.

Pros:

Haven't finished full month yet so hard to say.

Cons:

Loss of appetite, broke out really bad, fatigue, stomach pains, no sex drive whatsoever, can't fall asleep at night!

I started Yasmin 3 weeks ago and after the first few days my skin began to break out, then it got really bad the next week, and this third week has been even worse!!! Also since I began taking this it takes me hours to fall asleep (not sure if it's because I always take it right before bed). And I'm finding it difficult to work up an appetite.

Pros:

few side effects and i guess it works as a contraceptive if u use it for that?

Cons:

my skin got worse so went to docs to change pill, since stopping taking yasmin my skin has got slightly better so i also think it made things worse, or at least no better! had headches which may or may not be related.

my doc said a lot of women like this pill and that it helps with a lot of problems, but for me it did absolutely nothing and i wouldnt recommend it!

Pros:

don't get pregnant, it gives you a regular cycle

Cons:

It gives horrible cramps

Use it if it doesn't give you bad cramps.. It works well.. i guess but I could do without the cramps. I also realized I put on some weight while on this product.

Pros:

Clears skin
Controls period

Cons:

My period lasts for about 6 days :(
Took a while to adjust to the medication..a couple months of moodiness!

I'm taking the generic, Ocella. I really think its a combination of this BC, my regimen, and just growing out of acne. But whatever, I'm really happy with my skin.

Pros:

Shorter periods, less cramps

Cons:

Moodiness, acne (which just started after my 3rd month taking it), forgetful, sleep disturbance, drowsy, bloating. I actually have a lot of the same symptoms I get when I'm pregnant!!

This pill is not doing what I thought it would. I thought it would help with PMS symptoms and moodiness along with preventing pregnancy. It did prevent pregnancy, but that is all that is has done that I expected it to do. Very disappointed with it.
