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.
