Pros:

I have no idea how well it works. I am starting my pack tomorrow.

Cons:

None....yet.

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen. I gain about 20 pounds. Which is not good since I am only 4'11". I just swith to Yasmin. I am hoping that I don't gain any weight and that I don't get any acne. I have clear skin, I want to keep it that way.

Pros:

Does make skin less oily leading to fewer spots and less breakouts. Lighter periods less chance of becoming anemic. Much less water retention...breasts are a cup size bigger lol

Cons:

Can make you a little tired a few days before your period. Occasional headache ( could be from stress though!)

Good contraceptive, no real side effects, no weight gain, much improved skin, ligter periods.

Pros:

Skin is less oily, pimples remain the same or just a little less

Cons:

Moody, Tired, fatigue,insomnia,sleepy,migraines,feel lousy all the time, energy level low,low sex drive, vomiting

Ive only been taking this pill for 8 days now so maybe its too early to tell what the outcome will and should be but the side effects are getting the best of me. I went to the gym yesterday vomit like crazy(brought everything I had for lunch) I am really wondering if this is all temporary I plan to finish the pack and see if I fell any better. I tired of sleeping on the job maybe because I take the pills in the morning I was advised to try taking it at nights

Pros:

no pregnancy, light periods, no weight gain, no change in appetite.

Cons:

acne still not cleared up.

After being on alesse for a few months my acne started getting alot worse and i was spotting all the time, it was like i was on my period 24/7. so my doctor suggested i switch to yasmin which i have been using for about a month now. so far it seems like if it is clearing my skin it's doing so by bringing everything to the surface because it seems like i'm breaking out very often, but there seems to be less "lurkers". hopefully it will completely clear up in the next few days.

Pros:

Regular period, no pregnancy

Cons:

I got really bad acne on my shoulders and back, something I have NEVER had before. I stopped taking the pill but the back acne will not go away. I also had an increased appetite, poor sleep, and water retention.

All of the literature says that Yasmin should not cause the problems it caused in me... but it has. So, I guess I would just caution anyone that side effects can and do occur. I would like to find a better method of BC. I am not very hopeful right now.

Pros:

No mood swings!
No nausea, headaches, or anything!
Not tired!
Sex drive!!

Cons:

Breakout
Constantly thirsty!
Hungry!
Really expensive without insurance :(

So, I just finished my first week of Yasmin and the reason I'm on it is only because of acne. I'm not sexually active, but the reason I put "sex drive" as a pro is because I've been so much hornier lately..so I put 2 and 2 together :) a couple months ago I was on Ocella, and it was my frist time taking birth control. Ocella cleared my skin up! I was always hungry and craved milk, which was weird, but I didn't care because my face was clearing up. Then I stopped for a while, and broke out bad ( P.S. I've had acne ever since I started puberty). So I decided to get on Yasmin because if Ocella worked for me, then Yasmin would do wonders right? Well I've been on it for a week now, and like the second day, I started breaking out :( But now it's the end of my first week and I've noticed it's starting to heal.. My face isn't as oily anymore, and I believe oily skin is PRONE to acne. So if my face isn't oily anymore, my acne should start really clearing up soon :) I'll keep everyone posted!! Mwahs

Pros:

Completely cleared my moderately severe acne.

Cons:

Sore boobs.

I went on Yasmin three years ago to treat adult acne. It worked wonders. Completely cleared my skin with very minor side effects. Even after switching to another BCP, my skin still remained crystal clear. I made the mistake of stopping BC for a few weeks, and my acne is worse than ever now. I went back on Yasmin about 2 months ago and am hoping for the same results. My face is mostly clear, but I have broken out pretty badly around my neck and jawline. I am hoping that this is just my body adjusting to the BC again and that I will experience the same amazing results I did the first time. I believe it did take 3-4 months for my skin to completely clear the first time I was on it, so you do have to be patient and give it time to work. I do think acne gets worse before it gets better when you go on a new BC.
