Pros:

Worked GREAT for my acne. After a few weeks people commented on how great my skin looked!

Cons:

I felt very sick to my stomach in the mornings because of this pill. After about 5 months of clear skin, it seemed as if my acne was starting to come back

I really loved how quickly it cleared up my acne, but it does make you a little sick in the mornings and your acne may come back a few months down the road. I tried ortho tricyclin lo first and it was HORRIBLE!! It made my acne MUCH worse. Yasmine was WONDERFUL for me!

Pros:

the only pro i found it to have was that i didn't get pregnant on it.

Cons:

It gave me bouts of anxiety, crankiness, depression, little to no sex drive, sore breasts, cramping, and spotting.

i know birth control has different results with different people, but this pill was absolutely terrible for me. i had practically every side effect possible and was miserable most of the time i was taking it.

Pros:

Not pregnant, lighter periods, almost no skin problems, minor weight loss

Cons:

worse vision, depression and mood swings

I have been using the pill for over 3 years. I never wore contact or glasses and now I do, according to my doctor it was caused by the pill. My emotions were going crazy and don't even get me started on the depression talk. Other than that, it works.

Pros:

shorter period

Cons:

severely tender breasts, mood swings

I have used this product for over 3 years, and my skin has become seriously dried out and I have continuous acne. Gained wait at first, but I drastically changed my diet and have lost weight. My mood swings in the last year have become more severe.

Cons:

Depression, anxity, hair loss, NO sex drive, mood swings, loss of energy, fatigue, weight gain - inability to lose weight.

I cannot stress this more, if you have any of the above side affects, STOP TAKING THIS PILL, cause you will only get more. This pill has ruined my life.I have been taking it for 3 years,and have been in a relationship for 6. The first 6 mnths i had mood swings, then My sex drive went completely. A year later my hair started falling out, doctor said it was stress but never said it could be my pill. I suffered with depression last year, but my doctor never said it could be my pill, and he put me on anti-depressants, which did not work.I got married in september 07 and now My relationship is almost over because of this pill,and the fact the doctors never mentioned that all my problems might be a result of this pill is pure stupidity on their part! I came off this pill a month ago after desperatly tryng to figure out what was causing my lack of sex drive, and found similar reports of women who hav lost relationships over this pill.so I stopped,and all my side effects hav gone, I am bac

Pros:

skin clearer, boobs bigger, less headaches

Cons:

sick, maybe moody?? HUNGRY!!! sore boobs

I have been on Yaz for 2 months only. I did not realize til reading this post, that some of the affects I may be having could be due to Yaz. I have never had previous side effects of bc. I do, however, fell sick consistently and am hungry all the time. I LOVE my new boobs, they are back to where they were before I nursed, they are sore all the time, though. My skin looks clearer and I don't know if it is coincidence but I haven't had a migraine headache for several weeks (I used to get them 1-2 times a week)....hmmm....oh yeah, and I am bloated. Maybe that's because I am eating so much to curve the hungry appetite I IMMEDIATELY noticed and contributed to Yaz
