Pros:

With all that said below there are no pros that any other birthcontrol pill can't do.

Cons:

Very moody, significant weight gain, doesn't really help my acne. I am about to start Isotretinoin (a really strong vitamin A).

I have only taken it for a month and I like it, however I have gained a lot of weight within a month. I didn't know my period would stop, that might be a plus for others. My mood swings are controlable.

Pros:

clear skin, mild cramps,

Cons:

rashes on other parts of body i.e. arms, thighs.

I have almost no acne w/ Yaz and my sex drive is still good which certainly did not happen w/ my previous birth control, Kariva. Yes, the skin rashes suck but investing in some hydrocortisone cream makes it bearable. It's better that having bumps on your face.

Pros:

cleared up my acne... i could see my freckles once again! also, kind of an appetite suppressant, can be taken 3 packs at a time, no pms really

Cons:

badly decreased sex drive (after 3 year on yasmin), put me in weird moods--light depression, still had cramps (the reason I was on it in the first place)

I have been off Yasmin for a month, and my sex drive is back! I am in a better mood now, but I have a bigger appetite now and my face has broken out again! I'm considering switching to a different bc, but if you are using it to clear your skin and don't need a sex drive, I would recommend it.

Pros:

No babies

Cons:

acne got way worse, PMS, achey back, weight gain

I've never suffered from PMS but while taking this I seem to be PMSing non-stop. I didn't take this for the purpose of birth control, but to clear up acne, and birth control is the only benifit I'm getting out of it.

Cons:

Very sore breasts, emotional

It's been just over a month, doctor reccomended for a higher sex drive- seems to be working. Sex is more frequent and closer to orgasm,but My boobs are sore as hell and I've grown out of my bras! I've had a few emotional breakdowns where I couldn't stop crying! Not like me at all!

Pros:

Not sure. 3rd week only

Cons:

My skin is super broken out. Especially along the jawline and forehead.

I guess i'll have to wait and see. How long did it take for your skin to clear up completely? I was put on Yasmin especially for my skin but it has just gotten worse :( Any hope that it will clear up soon?

Pros:

No Pregnancy, No PMS, No pain or breakthrough bleeding.

Cons:

Acne worse, though it has only been 2 months.

My PMS and menstrual cramps are so horrible that this is a life saver. I tried ortho a couple of years ago and had cramping and bleeding every day for 4 months so I quit taking it. I am hoping that my acne is getting worse before it gets better, but am very relieved not to have the terrible pain every month.
