Pros:

increased sex drive, which my boyfriend loves. and obviously, im not pregnant.

Cons:

so far its making me break out badly, but from reading other people's responses it does that for the first month or two then goes away. if it doesnt clear up soon im going to have to go off it though.

i want to be on birth control, i was on ortho tri before and that made me gain alot of weight. so far yaz hasnt had that effect which i like alot but i cant stand the acne im getting because im so used to having really good skin.

Pros:

Clear skin, regular periods, not pregnant

Cons:

lethargic

I had been on Yasmin for about five years. Prior to yasmin I had trouble with my skin. It cleared my skin up completely. A couple months ago I heard of some side effects of yasmin that causes you to be tired. I decided to switch pills. Now my acne that had been gone for years is back and it's horrible. It's like a bunch of small bumps on your face. I decided to switch back to yasmin and just started today. Hopefully it works again!

Pros:

Since switching to Yasmin from Dianette, I have felt happier and less depressed. Yasmin makes me feel good, made me lose weight and has increased my sex drive!

Cons:

If you take 2 Packs in a row, I get spotting into the 2nd week of the new pack :(

It makes me feel good, Dianette made me very depressed and I am so happy I switched to Yasmin. It keeps my skin clear too, althought Accutane probably did that! But it does keep my hormone levels calm as I don't get as moody as I used to before I took Yasmin.

Pros:

No babies! Periods less heavy and not as long.

Cons:

Slight dizziness, no change in pimples... still have breakouts around the time of my period, I'm VERY emotional/mood swings (no prev. history of depression), and bloating and 4 lbs of weight gain.

I needed it to regulate my periods (I was having 8 to 10 day periods before), and help with the cramping. I am still in the first 3 months so I'm hoping the break through bleeding will stop. It's good and bad...I guess I just have to figure what's worse?

Pros:

Great at preventing pregnancy

Cons:

Terribly low libido (almost non-existent), mood swings, depression

Been on Yasmin off and on for the past 2 years. When the depression hit, I thought it was just the stress I was experiencing at work. My dr put me on stress medication and took me off the pill for a few months. Was great during those months, then started the pill again, and depression returned. After reading other reviews, I realised that it is the pill itself. I also thought that stress was the cause of my almost non-existent libido, but I left the job and the situation is still the same. I am currently lookin at other forms of birth control.

Pros:

Cleared up my skin quite well for the months I was on it

Cons:

Terrible mood swings and bouts of depression
Weight gain (only about 3 pounds, but still)
Increase in appetite

I found this to be good at helping clear up my acne... however I still had occasional bad breakouts and usually had at least one spot on my face most of the time. I have come off it now and am looking for other things for acne as I became extremely depressed most of the time whilst on this pill

Pros:

No babies, regular periods

Cons:

Horrible headaches, Depression, Mood swings, and leg cramps

When I started Yasmin I had the common side effects of nausea and not really any bad pms no weight gain or anything. after about 6 months I got really depressed my relationships were horrible because I didn't want to be around anyone. I had horrible mood swings and would go off on my boyfriend for no reason and anyone else that was in my path! I would also get anxiety attacks I dont recommend this pill I have switched to mircette! so hopefully that one works a lot better!

Pros:

lighter period and always on time, milder menstrual cramps

Cons:

less sex drive, decreased ability to clear infection?

Great for menstrual cycle associated problems. Don't know for sure if this is due to yasmin, but for the first time in my life I had a viral infection I could not clear for 2 weeks.
