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!

Pros:

I have probs with adult acne on my chin/cheeks, and nothing I have tried...skin medicine or other pills..does a thing, yet Yasmin makes my skin perfect. I also lose weight on this pill.

Cons:

Nausea in the morning, total loss of sex drive, and worst of all, intense, uncontrllable anger and depression out of nowehere.

I took this pill a couple years ago for about a year. Long enough to clear up my skn and stop the vicious cycle of breakouts. Because of this, any scarring started to clear up, and even the entire next year I was off of it, my skin remained calm. Only after a BIG mistake...a spray on tan, did my acne flare up again horrible. a year and a half later, after nothing else working, I am back on Yasmn. One week into it, skin is the best ts been n a couple years again. If it only wasnt for the moods!

Pros:

helped with acne some

Cons:

made me an emotional wreck, rage, anger, deep depressionn, leg cramps, black bruises, darkens facial skin pigment. oily skin increase major. panic attacks and heart palpatations.

I have been healthy my whole life until this pill, i would never reccomend it to anyone, acne is even better than this bcp. it made me have an irregular heart beat that would not stop,fast pulse . panic attacks out of no where for no reason,depression and anger episodes. which all stopped after this pill. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THRU MORE EMOTIONS IN MY LIFE. WILL NEVER TAKE AGAIN. give it a try if you want to play sycho rulette. desogen and mircette are way better and cleared my skin very well without all the side effects.

Pros:

No babies, didn't gain weight, no headaches, got rid of menstral cramps

Cons:

I find myself a little more depressed than I was before

It took almost 6 months for my skin to show an improvement, and the first 2 months it actually got worse. My skin isn't flawless now (with just the birth control), but when combined with my RX from the determitologist, it's the best it's been in a long time.

Pros:

Not pregnant

Cons:

Heavier and longer periods, extreme mood swings with an inability to control my anger. I just explode when I'm mad and cry hysterically when I'm upset or depressed. It's horrible... I just got off after 2 years of craziness.

Severe modd swings should be listed as common side effects because it can affect your life.

Pros:

Menstrual Period lasted 3 days and always on time, helped control hormonal acne, didn't gain weight, breasts increased one cup size.

Cons:

Made me very grouchy, tired and depressed. Was not covered by insurance. Did not clear all of acne.

Yasmin helped with my hormonal acne. But when I stopped taking it, within 5/6 months' time, all my acne came back plus I was breaking out on my chest and back. It is a distressing post-Yasmin side-effect. Also-- the depression was just as debilitating to deal with. Currently dealing with great resurgence of acne thanks to Yasmin.
