Pros:

Prevents pregnancy. not been on long enough to tell. kept appetite down, if thats a symptom.

Cons:

breakout(all under the skin, so bumpy effect), especially forehead and a lot on upper neck, behind ears.
Increase facial hair =( not v. noticeable
breakout bleeding for the whole first month.

Now that I think about it, it really has increased my acne. It may just be during bleeding though... and maybe the pill needs a few months to work.

Pros:

Less acne, clearer skin.

Cons:

Severe, severe stomach pains in the abdominal region, feeling weak, didn't help with pms, breast tenderness throughout my 3 months of taking it. Bloaty stomach that won't go away!

I work out 4-6 days a week, eat a good diet and I still have this constant bloating with this pill. I am also getting severe stomach, and back pains, that I haver had before until Yasmin. Yes it has helped my skin become clearer, but these pains make me want to go to the ER. I have a doctors appointment soon and I think I will go on Spiro and leave Yasmin in the wind! I can't take feeling like I have gastric flu everyday, especially when my life is beginning to be something again! I am no sexually active, so sorry can't help there. Not doubting the pill, because it does work for some, just not for me, which sucks, cause I heard this pill was the best, next to Yaz! Take it for 3 months, if you don't see a change, move onto something else. I also got this from Plan Parenthood for free!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Periods come a lot later than they do with other pills and I continue to bleed through when I am to start a new pack, Really bad breakouts, lowered sex drive

I do not have acne, and never have. I can honestly go to bed every night with a full face of makeup on and not get a single zit, but this birth control pill has made me break out ridiculously! I have never had this many zits at one time! I had switched to a new pill, but my pharmacy inadvertently switched my pills back to Yasmin, and in the first month I started to break out again. Plus, I never want to have sex with my boyfriend, so there is almost no point of even being on the pill. I might just have a weird reaction to it, but will never take it again!

Pros:

Not pregnant, period is no longer as painful, boobs grew a lot:|

Cons:

weight gaaaain, terrible weight gain, i never had acne, and now i do

I started out decently thin, and no acne on my face at all, occasionally i would get a pimple here and there. My mother today has mentioned how my face is brutal and i need to get off, as well as the weight gain, i won't be on this much longer, i've never had side effects such as this before, alysse was pretty bad with how often i got my period, this one is brutal for everything else

Pros:

Not pregnant. Predictable periods.

Cons:

Horrible facial acne. Huge painful under the skin zits that take weeks to deflate. Sore breasts two weeks in to every new pack. Some lower abdominal pain before period begins. Constipation.

My moods are ok but I HATE what it's doing to my skin. I'm broke out all the time, not just during my cycle but all the time. Once my 4 month trial is up I'm not staying on this pill. Ugh, will I ever find one that works. Tried Triphasil, Loestrin, and Femcon all have side effects I can't live with acne being the most important.

Pros:

Shorter, lighter periods

Cons:

BAD acne, depression, anxiety, feeling like I'm going crazy, weight gain

I have been on this pill for about 1.5 years. I could not figure out why I was breaking out so bad and then I started reading these things and realized it must be my pill. My doctor is in love with this pill and when I suggested that I didn't like it, she strongly urged me to continue it because it's good for acne (I didn't have any before I started it!). IT might be good for some people but NOT ME!

Pros:

Could only take it for two weeks so not long enough to find out, my skin was getting worse though, not better.

Cons:

Migraines!

I already suffered from pre menstrual migraines on and off but within two weeks of starting on Yasmin I was getting Migraines every week. I had one today and one yesterday complete with disrupted vision (photophobia) so thats it for me, the risks far outweigh the benefits. It's a shame as I haven't experienced any other side effects whilst taking it.
