Pros:

Prevents pregnancy, my acne is completely cleared! No moodiness, no cramps, and it regulates my period

Cons:

The same as other pills - you have to remember to take it every day.

My skin is completely cleared, I don't wear makeup on my face any more at all. I am in control of my period (timing), I have not gained weight (mind you, I did join a gym at the same time!), and discharge is not as extreme as it was before. I love this product. The best part is that when I forget to take a pill before bed one night, I can take it in the morning with little side-effects to being late.

Pros:

Better concentration: I had severe ADHD before I went on Yasmin and now it seems to help me sit still for awhile. It also has made my boobs bigger and more firm

Cons:

My husband just asked me this morning if I had more of a belly. My hunger level is stabilized now and I'm not starving every 2 hours now but the first 2 weeks I wanted to eat everything in sight. I also seem to be more depressed.

Yasmin is a good choice if you don't mind your weight fluctuating a bit- just work out with it and the weight gain shouldn't be a problem. I am definitely more moody now than I was before and will cry at the drop of a hat but I'm going to stick it out for 3 months on it to see how I like it. My hunger is now under control and I'm excited to see what it will do for my light acne. Yasmin has been a good starter pill (First time on BC).

Pros:

decrease in acne..

Cons:

depression, weight gain, mood swings, nausea, vomitting, and more.

I was on Yasmin for a few months and it was my first time being on birth control and it was crazy. I gained like 15 pounds in just a few short months. Also i would cry for no reason and was really moody especially towards my bf. It made me feel like i was bloated and i even looked like i was too. Its all different tho in every one. But it def was not right for me so my gyno put me of Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and its a million times better than Yasmin. I lost weight and my acne does not even exist. :)

Pros:

Regulated and lighter periods, bigger boobs, no babies

Cons:

Bad skin, headaches.

I've been taking Yasmin for about six months now after swapping from Microgynon as I was getting very bad acne during my off-week and half way through the pill packet. Yasmin is slightly better than Microgynon but I have been considering coming off it, purely because Yasmin is also making my skin bad during the off-week. Before starting on the contraceptive pill, my skin was usually very clear after years of teenage acne so going back to that is slightly upsetting. In terms of period control, Yasmin works just as well as any other brand. I work on a boat so periods are a hassle and I've had no problems running packs together to avoid periods on the boat. Since I started on Yasmin, I've been getting bad headaches, which I never had before. My sex drive has also diminished, both on Microgynon and Yasmin. On the plus side, no babies! No comment on affordability since I get contraception free on the NHS. I'd recommend this brand to other people, it's just not for me.

Pros:

Weight loss and loss of large appetite due to mirena IUD!

Cons:

Felt sick the first two months!

This is a great pill that doesn't give you weight gain. It takes a few months to adapt to it and then you will be fine. I don't recommend the generic. It took it for a month and gained a few pounds with an increased appetite.

Pros:

Weight loss, lighter periods, improved concentration.

Cons:

fatigue, hypersensitivity.

Depends on your body chemistry. My doctor reccomended it to me when I had been training for sport too much and had broader shoulders and said that the anti-androgen effect would help in making me look more feminine again. It definitely worked, and I've lost ten pounds on it not even trying. Though I experience some fatigue and hypersensitivity. Very glad to have found a BC that stabilizes me overall. Check with your doctor to see which BC works best with your body chemistry. Yasmin is awesome for me.
