Pros:

No unplanned babies! Less water weight than other pills I've tried, less emotional breakdowns, clearer skin, did I mention no babies?

Cons:

First few pill sof the months make me kinda sick, deffinate increase in hunger, no generic yet - my insurance doesn't cover most of it.

I've been on Jasmine for a while now, 2yrs off and on (had a planned baby somewhere in there) and love it. I had so many problems with the Estrostep Fe and Orthotricyclin I was on in the past. Ortho made me vomit nonstop and Estro made me an emotional wreck! Yes, it does take time for your skin to clear up but it gets better! The first 2-3 months I though my skin was just getting worse but once my body got used to the hormones I got lots of compliments on my skin! I went 6 months without a single breakout!

Pros:

No Pregnancy.

Cons:

Variable periods (sometimes 3 days, sometimes 7). Horrible mood swings. Uncontrolable crying at times. Severe anger issues. Very low sex drive.

I've been taking Yasmine for about two years (with a break for pregnancy.) Just in the last few months my moods have taken a horrible turn. My husband and I argue alot. I want to go off of it before it hurts my relationship with him and our children.

Pros:

no pregnancy, convenient

Cons:

daughter experienced severe mood swings, anger, depression, couldn't get along with anyone, when she went off it because of a found breast lump which she had removed, she now has moderate acne which she never had at all before.

The list of women who complain of mood swings worries me that my daughter will once again "not be her sweet self" and turn into a hormonal maniac! I wonder if it will clear up her acne soon!!

Pros:

None

Cons:

Excessive periods (every 2 weeks), numbness in patches all over my body.

About 2 weeks after I started taking Yasmin, I noticed the skin on and around my knee was numb. The numb patch continued to spread over the next 6 months all the way up my thigh. In the meantime, I started going numb in other patches all over my body. I visited everyone under the sun from chiropractors, doctors and neurologists and spent thousands of $$$ on tests, including MRIs and nerve conduction studies where they send electrical signals through your skin and measure them (and it really hurts). I was told I might have ovarian cysts, Multiple Sclerosis or even a brain tumour. After 6 months I finally correlated the start of my symptoms with when I started taking Yasmin. Within a few weeks of stopping Yasmin, I started to gain feeling back. 2 years later I still have a small numb patch on my knee, but have regained feeling everyhwere else. When my doctor contacted Schering they said it wasn't a known symptom and refused to accept that my symptoms were caused by Y
