Pros:

After a few months skin is clear, lighter period, stablizes period

Cons:

Very expensive.

I took Yasmin for 2 years and came off of it and immediately started getting pimples. Went back on and still have pimples but for the first 2 months it usually doesn't kick in. I definately have mood swings but I would not blame the pill.

Pros:

Prevents Pregnancy. It really clearned up my skin, and my periods are finally normal.

Cons:

Slight weight gain in the boob area, hopefully easy to loose the weight there

I definiely recommend this pill. My Dr. told me its the best one out their. I have not taken any other BCP & and i dont plan on it. You do tend to gain weight, which is a big issue for me, but with regular exercice and healthy eating you should have no problem. Its great for your skin.

Pros:

Not pregnant, clear skin

Cons:

Drastic mood swings, sore breasts, diminished sex drive

I switched to Yasmin after 3 years on Dianette which I went on to clear up acne. Yasmin has helped maintain my clear skin which is great but I'm not sure it's worth it because of the mood swings I get. I'll find myself bursting into tears or becoming extremely angry over nothing. I'm also very irritable - something my boyfriend would probably agree with and I have zero patience. Being this stressy is not good right in the middle of uni! Going to the doctor next week to request switching pills. Anything is better than this!

Pros:

Boobs are bigger, no spot bleeding or terrible cramps, and my cystic acne has cleared up (so far!) I usually break out when im ovulating, which this pill stops. My doctor told me this pill acts as a diuretic and shouldnt make me gain weight. hmm...

Cons:

I'm not sure about the weight gain, though i fear i might be (i've only been on it for a few weeks so it's too early to tell). I do have a few little pimples, but nothing compared to the cysts I used to get.

Birth control is gonna suck no matter what, we're messing with nature here. Anytime we alter out hormones, it is bound to show up on our face (could be good or bad, depending on the person.) Overall, I have been satisfied with the effects on my skin. Give this product AT LEAST three months to kick in and go with the flow of your body. Of all the birth controls out there, this seems to be doing its job without too many side effects.

Pros:

No PMS, big boobs yay!! Not much weight gain, I think my skin may be getting better, need to use it for a few more months. High sex drive.

Cons:

Spotting and horrible depression, but there are pills for that too!!! Tired all the time and no appetite, but that could be the other pills too.

All birth control pills are sh*tty, women are supposed to get pregnant and we shouldn't be messing around with fate; so I guess there will be consequenses right? Yah I am nuts. ANy who, I haven't met a pill yet that doesn't make me depressed, but at least things are alot less stressful now when it comes to having sex.

Pros:

regular/lite flow, no major cramps, no weight gain, gives me more peace of mind...no babies! :)

Cons:

very, very little pills (sucks if you drop one)

All and all i would reccomend yasmin, it was the second pill i tried and it definitly made more pierods more regular and pretty lite. I have always had bad skin, but i think since i've been on it it has been better (or it might be my face cream?), but i know it definitly did not make it worse. i think it made me a little more hungry the week before my pierod, but its alright bc i know when that week will be every month. I dont think i get mooody or depressed on it, but i also take it at night so i may not notice as much. with insurance it is only $15, but i dont have insurance this month so im curious to see how much.

Pros:

I have now been on YAZ for 3 months and ALL of my PMS/PMDD symptoms have disappeared.

Cons:

The only bad side effect has been a lower sex drive, but my husband and I agree that my sanity is most important. We have a strong relationship and can work out the sex issue.

I am 47 & had been experiencing perimenopauseal symptoms' mood swings, crying, anger, anxiety & depression. I had not had severe PMS/PMDD problems since in my early 20's. My doctor wanted to put me on anti-depressants, but I wanted to get to the root of the problem. I tried natural options, soy, exercise, herbs'I saw slight improvement. Then over the last yr & 1/2 I have taken 5 birthcontrols. I experienced breast pain, bloating, migraine headaches & still PMS/PMDD! I cried, avoided friends & family, quit activities I normally enjoyed. I researched PMS & found that those who had PMS in their teens/20's could see it return during Perimenopause. I found out about YAZ and it's treatment of PMS/PMDD. I thank the Lord for this product! This is the 3rd month I've taken it and ALL of my symptoms have disappeared! I strongly encourage women who are in their 40's & are experiencing PMS/perimenopauseal symptoms to ask your doctor about YAZ. It worked for me!
