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.

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.

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.
