Pros:

Prevents pregnancy, regulates your period, lighter flow, reduces menstrual pain.

Cons:

May cause nausea, migraines, insomnia, appetite changes, weight gain, increased acne, anxiety, depression, blood clots, etc.

Ladies please, do not take birth control unless you have too. It is definitely not the best way to clear up acne. I've been on the pill for a number of years because I have ovarian cysts, which cause me extreme pain when I menstruate. Even with being on birth control for this long, I still have the cysts. Though the pain has been reduced since I started taking them, the pill has also made a lot of things worse. You have to remember that birth control is forcing hormones into your body, and hormones are thought to be the biggest cause of acne. I eventually got fed up with trying to use drugs to solve my problems, so I went to see a homeopathic doctor. She has been helping me to drain my ovarian cysts, balance my hormones, and live a healthier life. I've lost weight and noticed a huge decrease of acne on my face. Try doing this, cut out all dairy from your diet for a couple weeks, and wear a sleeping mask at night. These will help balance out your hormones, decrease stress and acne.

Pros:

My boobs are growing! no pregnacy

Cons:

Less sleep at night, moodiness, minor low sex drive, very tender swollen breasts, painful migranes, always hungry(but no weight change, I haven't gained in years no matter how much I eat.)

I've been on Yasmin for almost 2 months. For the first month I experienced a lot of nausea, however I never vomited, so that's a plus. My breasts have been extremly sore, however I noticed they look slightly larger but I am not sure if that is because of the swolling. I hear the pill makes women's breasts enlarge, so I hope mine keep on sproutin'! I've always been emotional, even before the pill, so I am not sure if I can blame Yasmin for that. As of lack of sex drive, it's minor for me.

Pros:

Larger breast, contraception, skin seemed a little better.

Cons:

Changed personality, damaged relationship dynamics, slight depression,

It sucked for me, although the bigger breast were nice. Everyone reactss differently and I reacted horribly. I thought I could be stronger than it, but even after four months it dominated my thoughts with negativity. I cried at everything. I stopped being happy. Doesn't mean others couldn't benefit though. Only use this birth control if you ctually have severe pms or it will give it to you.

Pros:

No unplanned pregnancies, less fluid retention. semi clearer skin

Cons:

The odd breakout

I have been on Yasmin for three months now. To be honest i was expecting clearer skin but fingers crossed with more time my skin will clear up as well as it did when i was on Diane 35. I dont appear to be gaining any extra weight either this could be because of the certain type of progestrone in the pill that apparently helps you gain less weight. I will peservere with it and hope for the best.
