Pros:

Big Boobs... better skin... cystic acne cleared and better mood.

Cons:

sore boobs, very low libido,occasional migraine, weight gain, great appetite and sleepiness.

Don't be scared... I bled for almost two weeks when I started taking it... I had 3 huge mosquito bite like acne on my face and I was very emotional on the first week but that was because my system was just adjusting to the pill. I thought of stopping but on the 2nd week, my mood improved, my blackheads disappeared, my over all skin clearer and my boobs were at least half a cup bigger. I have been battling with PMDD for almost a year now and it has greatly affected my life and my marriage. I didn't want to do anything, hated everyone and just depressed 2 weeks out of each month. I have heard of Yasmin and Yaz to help with severe PMS but I wanted to treat it naturally. But I just couldn't take it any longer so I tried Yasmin. It's like an answer to my prayers. It's freaking out my husband because he's never seen me this happy but our sex life is suffering. Actually I thought my libido was unshakable... but it really is making my sex drive really low (close to none)

Pros:

lower dose of oestrogen then dianette that i was taking, newer type of pill, different progesterone meant to help with skin, pms symptoms etc

Cons:

for the first 2 weeks felt very tired and depressed at times, hot sweats now and then, otherwise none

I was on dianette for spots but after nearly 4 years on it and doing plenty research into various pills i decided i should come off it and try yasmin as i knew dianette was not meant for long term use, i asked my gp who agreed and with fear i tried yasmin!! for the first 2 weeks i was tired and felt down at times, but i felt less bloated and no sore boobs which i often got on dianette, my skin and hair is about the same as on the dianette in fact by the second week of pills i think my skin was less greasy, i got some hot sweats, not too pleasant but you expect some effects initially. Just done with first month now and i think it seems fine fingers crossed it continues to be ok as i would rather not go back to the dianette. However pills are different for each individual i think you just have to try them and see! but if you are on long term dianette and have thought about yasmin try it, can't harm to try you could always go back if it doesn't suit you!

Pros:

No vomiting, works well, no nausea. Have not experienced any depression.

Cons:

I have taken Yasmin on and off and whenever I quit I experience intense abdominal pain for about a week and the last time I quit I broke out lightly with acne that when squeezed, white stuff came out that was pasty. It cleared up quickly tho.

It's worked well for me. I'm only mean and angry when someone hurts me, I've always been that way. First BC that didn't make me throw up the first day. Haven't experienced any bad side effects except abdominal pain and a mild breakout when i stopped, which was awkward for me since I use Clearasil Ultra products and haven't had bad acne in 3 years. I also have a small what appears to be a cyst next to my mouth that I think is causing the acne and wasn't there before. Other than that I've been content with Yasmin and don't really have many problems with it.

Pros:

Not pregnant

Cons:

anxiety, depression, sudden unexplainable anger, no sex drive!!!, no temper, spotting, nausea, vomiting, oilier skin, tiredness, dizzyness

I DO NOT recommend this pill! I was on Valette for two and a half year, which was completely agreeable with me, it cleared my skin, gave me energy, and even made my breasts grow a size, but had no side effects. Since I moved to the UK from Germany I had to switch since there is no equal to it here. Since I have been on Jasmine I have been depressed and don't really want to have sex. I am really snappy and generally unhappy for no apparent reason. Kissing my boyfriend is boring, which has never been the case since I love him so much, and it is really putting a strain on our relationship, which was previously unexplainable. My skin is slightly oilier, I am extremely tired, am really anxious, excessively thirsty and have extremely bad digestive problems. Don't take it!

Pros:

Not a dern thing. PLEASE, for your health and the safety of others, DON'T USE YASMIN!

Cons:

PREGNANCY followed by an AWFUL miscarriage, weight gain, hard to lose weight, irritability, non-stop crying, depression, no sex drive, and continual yeast infections. I turned into a fat witch.

I went on Yasmin 3 months before I got married and thought that Yasmin worked fine. I thought stress of planning a wedding and then newly being married, moving to a small town, and starting a career were the causes of my depression, non-stop crying and weight gain (even though my diet became more regulated and I was exercising more!). After a year of perfect pill use (every night at 10pm an alarm went off and I took my pill) and no weird antibiotics, I got pregnant. Didn't know it and miscarried at 8 weeks (found out at 7 that I was preggo). I didn't attribute anything to Yasmin until my gorgeous sister went on Yasmin and was having similar problems. She was told by her modeling agency she was going to have to start plus-size modeling and she broke up with her boyfriend of 3 years because she too had turned into a witch. She ditched Yasmin, lost weight and reconciled with her boyfriend. I just came off Yasmin. The weight melted off (with NO effort)and I am back to being myself.

Pros:

clear skin, weight control, light periods

Cons:

mood change

i am 32 and have lived an incredibly happy life - that is, until recently. i have been incredibly depressed since i started Yasmin. it's an emotion i am certainly not familiar with. however, i hestiate to stop taking it b/c of the other positive benefits i get from it. Additionally, along with starting up on Yasmin, some other things have been going on in my life such that i am not sure it's the pill. :(

Pros:

Not Pregnant

Cons:

Tiredness, no sex drive, mood swings, hopelessness and depression

Was prescribed Yasmin by my obgyn after I had my first baby 10 months ago. Had no baby blues after birth but in last few months have felt so down and alone with no energy and lots of mood swings. Was wondering could I have PND this late. Was with my GP yesterday and he asked which pill I was using, it was like a light bulb went off in his head, he said he's hearing more and more bad reports and took me off it straight away. Hopefully I should see an improvement soon fingers xd

Pros:

clears up acne, doesnt affect sex drive

Cons:

spotting

i took dianette for 4 years to clear up acne, but decreased my libido so came off it and 6 months later acne returned so was presrcibed yasmin. after a couple of months my acne had cleared up and because it is a lower dose pill my sex drive came back too. great pill but found i was spotting a lot which wasnt fun after sex! reckon may have been my fault as i didnt take the pills at the same time each day...will see what happens
