July 8, 2008

Pros:

Regular, Lighter periods. Prevents pregnancy.

Cons:

Slight weight gain. Always feel hungary. Some mood swings.

I have been using Yasmin for about a year now. So far, no babbies. I have gained about 8 pounds since using the pill. I tend to feel hungary all the time and have some mood swings. My periods and are more regular and a lot shorter and lighter. The pill has helped to slightly clear my skin, but I still have a few random breakouts every so often.

Pros:

Skin cleared, bigger boobs, regular period

I have been on the pill for 2years now, and the first year everything was perfect. this pill has really bad longterm effects. i was hungry all the time, moody, and unhappy.

I can not take a pill that will make me feel like crap all day, I rather not take anything. I have to much going on in my life to fell like crap all day. The pill also my my heart beat wired and made me very tired.

Pros:

Better Acne. Prevents Pregnancy. Bigger Boobs. Shorter, lighter periods. No cramps.

Cons:

Acne breakouts the first few months. Mood swings. Dry skin.

This pill is really good but you have to wait out the bad things to get to the good things. I got horrible acne when starting it but it started to clear after about 2 or 3 months. It's different for everyone though. My periods are shorter and I hardly ever get cramps anymore. It also made my boobs a little bigger. All in all. Good pill. Just wait out the bad things.
May 7, 2008

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.
April 3, 2008

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.
