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:

really bad acne, nausea, mood swings

i started using yasmin after coming off estelle 35D which actually made me quite depressed. i expected the nausea at the beginning but it kept coming back even after 2 months. i took the pill in the morning and the nausea would hit in the middle of the day. i kept feeling like i had air stuck in my throat, like i needed to throw up but couldn't. i was light-headed and would sleep as soon as i came back from work. i used estelle 35D to clear up my skin and it really worked, i had perfect skin afterwards. however the depression was quite bad and so i stopped taking it. pimples came back but they weren't bad. yasmin however gave my full blown acne. i've just started brevinor which i've found is a lot better.

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:

works well to regulate female system
no side effects
cool packaging

Cons:

doesn't have any effect on my acne

I gave this a 3 because it is wonderful as a birth control. I've tried Ortho Tri Cyclin, Ovcon, and Femcon. This is the best. I never get cramps or have spotting like I did before and my period is shorter and lighter than before. Also, no weight gain. On acne however, this product has not helped me at all. It hasn't made things worse or better. It seems to have no effect on acne at all. I would give it a 0 as an acne treatment. As birth control its great, but no birth control has ever helped my mild to moderate hormonal acne and I have been taking birth control on a continual basis for 8 years to regulate my cycle. Would highly recommend it as a birth control product but not at all as an acne treatment.

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.
