Pros:

.....not sure

Cons:

weight gain, raging appetitte, sleepiness, depression.

This is my first week on yasmin but i wanted to post on here... just incase any other girls where experiencing my problems and thought it was just them. I was on ortho tri-cyclin for a year (and diane a few years before that, which didn't change my acne much at all) On ortho I actually kept a normal weight or maybe even lost weight cuz it regulated my hormones the best. But yasmin has made me a wreck!! ive gained 10 lbs in the first week i have taken it. I have been so sleepy and moody that I dont want to wait it out to see if it gets better. My body is telling me NO on this one so I am going to wait a cycle then go back to ortho. In all though..none of the BCs have cleared my acne. Just possibly made it less crazy.

Pros:

Not pregnant, breasts are huge, weight loss, and skin partially clearing up.

Cons:

Horrible stomach pains, nausea/ loss of appetite, headache, loss of sex drive, skin not clearing up fast enough...seems stagnant.

The night I decided to start the new pill I read on here the pros and cons. Sometimes the cons outweighed the pros, which scared me. But, hell, I'm adventurous, I tried it anyway. So far, no babies, a little bit better skin, no CRAZY hormonal fits and my breasts grew two cups (my boyfriend is very pleased). The stomach pains, nausea/no appetite and loss of sex drive is something I can do without. But, I'm sure it will get better. All I want now is my skin to get better. I'm sure it just takes time. =/

Pros:

The only pro I can give this product is that I haven't beocme pregnant while on it.

Cons:

I have been taking Yasmin for about 6 months now and my acne had only worsened, I have noe sexual interest with my boyfriend anymore, and I am constantly depressed.

I want to know if it has been proven to do all of these things, and if so why would anyone prescribe it.

Pros:

no weight gain, no babies

Cons:

skin got worse, emotional

I used to take Dianne for my skin, but it made me put on weight far too easily so changed to yasmin. Iv lost weight since changing but the acne has got worse. Iv only been on it for 3 months. Will my skin clear if i stick it out for a few more months? is there another pill which will help clear my skin but not make me put on weight as easily as dianne does?

Pros:

No babies, Cleared acne, no weight gain, gave me a more womanly figure, periods were normal and always at the same time.

Cons:

Anxiety.

Worked really great for me! It even made me less hairy haha! I guess it really depends whether or not its right for you. It never gave me extra acne, no mood swings. One time i took 2 pills in one day by accident (this was the first day back on the pill) and i barfed all night long.

Pros:

cramps are gone, period is predicatble,

Cons:

hasn't done nothing for my acne

Yasmin is my first birth control and honestly i dont' feel anything most users described (depression, anxiety, ect) . The only thing i hated was it didnt' do anything for my face, of which was the whole reason i started yasmin and of course my cramps. i been on yasmin for about 5 or 6 months.

Pros:

Regular periods. No cramping. No weight gain. No acne.

Cons:

Increase in mood swings towards the end of the month just before starting my period. I use to use Loestrin and did not experience this. Periods are also longer and heavier on Yasmine than Loestrin Fe 1/20. No weight gain or acne on either pil

I have been on Yasmine for 2 years. I was on the one previous to this (Loestrin) for 6 years and only switched because I was on the other for a while and didnt want its effectivness to decrease. Yasime is a good pill but for me I have experienced more emotional swings than the other pill. Pills effect everyone differently.

Pros:

Not pregnant! You get to treat yourself to a larger bra size.

Cons:

Like any birth control I've taken, I get mood swings. Once I switched to taking it in the morning to taking it at night before I sleep, I was feeling much better. The first couple weeks that I took it, my period lasted 2 weeks...but I'm feeling fine.

My skin has always been fine. I have broken out with birth control in the past. Yasmin helped me maintain my clear skin. My libido actually went up because I've been losing weight on this pill. I'm 30 so I've tried a few other types of birth control. This one is my favorite so far. I plan to continue taking it.

Pros:

Birth Control

Cons:

I broke out in little bumps (looked like sweat bumps) all over my cheeks. Depression, Mood Swings like CRAZY.. made me get angry all the time over nothing.

I got on this pill because most of my friends got on it and told me how it cleared their skin but it ended up messing up my hormones even more and made me break out all over my cheeks, once i stopped my skin cleared up. Mood swings and depression were another side effect. but i heard it works very well on other people so I guess it just depends what works for you..
