Pros:

My acne cleared up really well, still get the ocassional blemish but when I think back to how bad it was it's a massive improvement!

Cons:

Disn't have any funny side effects, no weight gain nothing. Having been on the pill for 5 years (I am now 20) I am experiencing cervical erosion due to the contraceptive pill...

Really good if you want to get rid of acne but don't get addicted like I did otherwise you could experience serious health risks like cervical erosion. I used contraceptive pills after nothing else would work and they did have a dramatic effect! I am going to have to stop now though and am hoping to find an alternative!

Pros:

Shorter, lighter, predictable periods. No mood swings, no acne.

Cons:

***Frequent yeast infections!!!***

Great pill except for the fact that I will get a yeast infection every week except for the week on my period! Went to the doctors, they couldn't tell me anything. No burning or itching, just thick, pasty white discharge. Vaginal dryness was also a problem. Changing birth control pill this month...can't take it anymore. Would recommend this pill IF you don't get the recurring infection.

Pros:

My boobs are huge! And I still have a sex drive

Cons:

So far I feel REALLY bloated

I have only been on the pill for one week. I know with any medication aimed to help your acne it takes up to 3 months to kick in, however; i havent had any NEW breakouts (cross my fingures!) Im going to keep going and hope for the best. I will also write another review in a few weeks.

Pros:

Yasmin has kept me having short periods and I dont gain weight beause i dont eat alot.

Cons:

I hate that they have made a generic because I think the brand is better. Im getting blood clots also

I would recommend this product if u dont want a baby. It has stopped me from having any more babies. I just dont like the generic and i have asked the doctor to give me brand but that hasnt worked yet. I have used yasmin for almost 4 years now and my only down fall is the generic. Just recently they came out with a generic for the yasmin. Since i have to use generic now it makes me have cramps and i didnt have cramps taking the yasmin. The doctor had told me that there is a difference between the generic and the brand. My insurance doesnt want to pay for the brand anymore unless the doctor approves it.

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.
