Pros:

prevents pregnancy

Cons:

My skin has started braking out a lot, I hardly EVER had pimples before taking yasmin but hey I guess everyones different

The first month went ok other than the increased mood swings but that lasted about a week. But now Im almost done with the second pack and havnt stopped bleeding since I started it, and Im due for my period again in a few days, as a matter of fact I think I may have started today cuz cramping got worse but I cant tell, its that bad, im getting a little concerned. guess Ill ride it out through the third month and see what happens and see if I need to change brands or get off, hopefully the acne will subside too.

Pros:

Lighter, shorter periods

Cons:

moodiness, no change in acne

I started taking yasmin about a month and a half ago just for my back acne. So far not much has changed, and it seems some days it's actually gotten worse. My face is a little bit better, but no outstanding difference. Im a bit dissapointed. I'll stay on it for another month and see if it changes, if not, I will stop taking Yasmin.

Pros:

honestly...none for me

Cons:

increased acne, extremely sore breasts, weight gain, depression so bad that i don't want to leave the house,crying spells, irritability, heavy periods that last much longer than before...

I was put on this pill by my Derm. to treat my acne. I was previously on Allesse for about 6 years and loved it!!!! No complaints there. This is the end of my 2nd month of Yasmin and I thought I was going crazy until I started looking around on the net. Turns out I'm not alone. My acne is so bad right now that I have actually made an appt with my MD to discuss Accutane. My breasts are so painful and enlarged that it actually hurts to wash them in the shower. I am extremely active so this poses a huge problem and also makes no sense that I have gained about 10 lbs in the past 2 months. A friend has a good experience with this pill and is urging me to stick it out for one more month but there is no way. I hate this pill. I have three left in this pack and then I will be back on Allesse. Praying everything goes back to normal.

Pros:

My periods were really irregular prior to Yasmin. But ever since I took it, my periods became regular which was great. Skin began to clear up after my second pack. No major mood swings either.

Cons:

I experienced leg cramps during my first pack, but it went away soon after. A BIG con was the fact that my underarms began to have an unpleasant odor when I began taking this. It went away after I got off the pill.

Yasmin is really good for pregnancy prevention. It really helps with your acne as well. It may take a little longer for some to see actual results with your skin, but just give it time. I started seeing results on my second month. However, because of the underarm odor, I stopped taking it. The side effects vary from person to person, and unfortunately that was mine.

Pros:

No pregnancy

Cons:

Increased Acne and Mood swings

I was prescribed Yasmin because I was breaking out on my face. A month after starting, my breakouts are much worse. In addition, my mood swings are awful. I get angry and irritated very easily. My kids and husband have noticed a difference in me. I just can't control my sadness and frustration. I hope the makers of Yasmin review this board. I'm going to switch pills at my next visit in one month.

Pros:

Not sure yet. First week into it.

Cons:

I noticed a huge hard zit on the tip of my nose that really hurts but can't do anything about. I look like Rudolph.

I'll wait to see the pros and cons. Doing this more for skin so I'll repost after my month and see if there are any improvements. If that pimple on my nose is still there by then, you know I'll be getting off this BC. :)
