Pros:

Short periods.

Cons:

Moodiness
Depression

It was all going well, and then I became so depressed, and then suicidal. I spent three nights in the hospital because it drove me to that. Now that I am off of it, I feel so strange. No odd out of the blue emotions. It drove me nuts, and I am only 17.

Pros:

-protects you from babies!
-lighter periods
-skin looks healthier, but not clear

Cons:

-doesn't help with period cramps that much (buy some midol just in case!)
-didn't clear acne

you have to try it and figure out if it works for you. I'm switching to a stronger pill to cure my acne, hopefully for good. This pill has great to me otherwise, try it and find out if it works for you!

Pros:

I took Yaz because I heard it made your boobs bigger and cleared up your complexion, it has done neither.

Cons:

I'm on my 2nd month and my complexion is worse than it ever has. I have cramps during my 2nd and 3rd week instead of just around my period. And I have much less energy working out and seem to be gaining fat!

DO NOT USE YAZ.

Pros:

Cleared my skin of inflamed acne, regulated my periods

Cons:

Had a bit of an initial breakout, i get nausea easily

Yasmin has done wonders for me. I have a hormone disorder and Yasmin has regulated all of my imbalanced hormone levels. I had a bit of an initial chin breakout, but since then my inflammatory acne has almost disappeared. I recommend Yasmin highly, but its always tricky with birth control because every woman's body seems to react differently.

Pros:

kept my acne away, didn't get pregnat, regulated period.

Cons:

cost

I've been on Yasmin for about two years now. My dermatologist recommended it too me because i had a severe acne problem. Nowadays though it seems like the acne is comming back, like my body got use to the pill, the same thing happened to me with Ortho- Tryciclin.

Pros:

Shorter periods

Cons:

Yasmin for me was 3 months of depression and severe mood swings, sleepless nights, gave me cysitc acne (never had prior), gave me IBS which went away after stopping, etc.

Yasmin did not agree with my body at all, it was awful. From week 3 and on it's was a downhill battle. The awful symptoms it gave me never subsided until I discontinued using it.

Pros:

Prevents Pregnancy

Cons:

Major Breakouts, Very Moody, Crampy heavier periods

Overall I hate it! I have always had perfect clear skin, I have been on it four months now and i have horrible acne...I also notice I am sensitive and moody over stupid things. My period is heavier and crampy, However it did regulate them and I always know when I will have them now....I am definetly switching pills.
