Pros:

My periods are lighter, and I have not gotten pregnet

Cons:

Horrible breakouts,cramping in between periods,always hungry.

I had moderate acne before I got on this. When I first started it only cleared up a little. Then shortly after i started getting these huge welt like Bumps all over. after a while it would clear up in one spot then break out horribly in another. It is the most painful acne I have ever had. I DO NOT recommend this product and can`t belive it even had gone up in price dramatically. I am getting on some new stuff ASAP

Pros:

Shorter, lighter periods
Virtually no cramping
Affordable

Cons:

Worse Mood swings
Acne Breakouts

I'm really not crazy about this stuff. I've been on it for almost a year now. It was suggested that I give it a chance to regulate my system and things would eventually even out. Nope. It seems like the longer I'm on it, the worse things are getting. Went from having little acne to breaking out something horrible (always on week 2). Went from minor mood swings to major ones (again, always on week 2). My annual is coming up and along with having my hormone levels checked, I am going to switch brands. Just not working for me.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Emotionally Unbalanced, Severe Migraines, Blurred Vision,Spotting, Discharge, skin tags,acne

Please seriously research this pill before taking it. I wish I had. I orginially took Dianne 35 (Dianette) to control my acne after 10 years of being on it I started to develop migraines so decided to swith to "the rols royce of contraceptives" - Yasmin. Honestly, have NEVER experienced anything like it,I've been taking Yasmin for the past three months and in that period have had awful splitting migraines that seem to last throughout my cycle. I've also been an emotional wreck - crying for no reason, snapping at people, feeling very low in myself etc... Thanks to all those who posted their comments, your posts have helped me make the decision to stop taking this pill immediately.

Pros:

None as of yet as im not using it for birth control

Cons:

Extreme acne break out, nausea, depression, mood swings, crying at the smallest things

I would'nt try this yasmin again, although im going to stick to it for the packets we have in the cuboard cost a fortune! About $50.00 a month. I was on estelle for about 12 months and it was WONDERFUL! Ask your doctor if estelle would be ok for you then try it before yasmin. Its much cheaper to. A dollar a month.

Pros:

I took Yaz birth control pills and Oh My Gosh! My skin is clear! This is only after taking it 10 days. My acne was moderate but still looked bad but, after taking yaz, I have soft, clear skin!!!!YEAH

Cons:

I seem to have low energy and be tired alot lately but so what, I have clear skin.

Yaz is prescribe for women to help with PMDD. I had severe PMS but I think my PMS was worst because my skin will have pus-filled pimples at that time of the month and I will have low self esteem. I can't believe how happy I am with clear skin, my makeup looks better, I feel better, LIFE is GREAT. Thanks Yaz

Pros:

Skin has cleared up almost completly, also has a very smooth and soft texture. It is an effective form of birth control. No periods!( I cycle the pills)

Cons:

A little bit of weight gain, and some moodiness and depression. The skin on my face feels a little bit dry sometimes and needs extra lotion. You have to remember to take them everyday.

I love it. It is amazing to finally be able to touch the skin on my face and it feels smooth. There were small bumps all over my face as well as larger ones here and there and they never went away no matter what I did. Since starting on Yaz my skin has gradually cleared up and I feel like a different person. It's great.
