Pros:

not on it long enough

Cons:

not on it long enough

Everyone needs to know that everyones body works a little different. That is why there are over 40 different kinds of birth control pills. So far, this one works great for me. I trust my doctor, and if it started to not work for me, I would tell him. He would try another one. I agree that sometimes certain meds aren't great with some people, but telling people that they souldn't go on something because of your experience is wrong. Please if your doctor says to try it, try it then if it is not working, switch!! Good luck.

Pros:

None

Cons:

panic attacks, mood swings, uncontrolable crying, depression, anger, anxiety.

I have been on Yaz for 6 months. In that time my normally happy and upbeat attitude has done a nose dive. I am depressed, cry for no reason, pick fights with my boyfriend, and I am overly sensitive about everything. It has had a destructive impact on my relationship with my boyrfriend and we might have broken up this week after a hysterical episode I had on Tuesday. The worst part is that I know this isn't who I am, and the harder I struggle to control the situation, the bigger the hole I seem to dig for myself. I have decided to go off Yaz after my current pack is done. Hopefully I will be able to repair my relationship with my boyfriend and get my life back in order. Kim

Pros:

I have yet to see any so far.

Cons:

I have been terribly irritible and weepy from the time that I have started them - which has only been 3 weeks. I mainly went on to clear up my skin and it has gotten terribly worse! Large cystic like zits around my mouth and on my checks!

I want to go off but I'm afraid it will all get worse.

Pros:

bigger chest, clearer skin, healthy hair, no cramps, regular periods

Cons:

dry skin, increased appetite

if you know when your body needs food, as opposed to when it wants it you will be fine. i have been on it for about 2 months in the first month i gained a kilogram but dropped it virtually straight away.

Pros:

Skin is looking a bit better

Cons:

extremely ANGRY 24/7, ance may be a bit better but getting huge cysts on my face which is I never got before, and yeah main con is angryness - I find little things said to me really offensive

I've used Yasmin for a month and nw I can't decide whether to continue using it or not. I'm only using it for my skin and so far I'm not sure if there's an improvement but it seems to feel smooth and clearer BUT been getting cysts in random places I never got acne before on my face. The month before I started using Yasmin I started trying to lose weight and lost 3kg which I was so happy about but the month I started using Yasmin I didn't loose any weight - even though I stepped up my exercising for the month before 30-1hr exercise a day (did some massive bike rides) and ate healthy. I think Yasmin made me not loose anymore weight. And my mood swings are crazy at the moment I am angry at everyone and everything!

Pros:

no weightgain, no mood swings, keeps acne under control/clearer skin, increased sex drive

Cons:

none that I found what so ever

Yasmin by far is the best contraceptive method out there. I have recently tried Daine 35 just for the sake of it and well realized that it was a HUGE mistake. In two months I have gained approximately 3 pounds, and I am a fairly active person nonetheless. I have also noticed some MAJOR moodswings, LOSS of labido and strange signs of depression. Please girls your body is sensitive as is so don't ruin it any further by taking Daine. Stick to Yasmin if it works well for you. Hormones are a tricky thing so educate yourself as much as you can and tune into your body. I recommend reading the book Sexy Hormones if all fails. Best of luck!

slight insomnia and nausea

i have only been using it f0r over a week but when i came on this site and saw what people were saying about the product i thought that i would be dead by now. i have never taken any birth control before but i have not had any side effects that would stop me from taking this. It is helping my acne and im so happy about that!
