Pros:

Cleared Skin, No pregnancy

Cons:

Frequent Urination, moodiness at first, but subsided -- see Bottom Line

I used the generic, Ocella. I gave this pill 3 months,and it came through wonderfully. Months 1 and 2 were rough, but my skin has not had any new breakouts in month 3. I was having bad mood swings, but happened to get a blood workup from the doctor and found out my Vitamin D was EXTREMELY low. I started taking prescription Vitamin D supplements about the time my 3rd month of Ocella started, and the mood swings went away completely, and now my skin is clear. I'd recommend this to anyone who has hormonal acne. I'm 26 years old.

Pros:

Cleared pimples! After a week no more condoms! No pregnancy! My boobs are growing!

Cons:

The first month or so I was completely nauseated. So many nights I woke up feeling like I was going to puke. However that went away within the second month or so. My boobs swell and hurt sometimes

I recommend it!

Pros:

Period only last for 2 days, no cramping, perfect skin, levels my hormones and emotions.

Cons:

Haveing to take it everyday and buying it every month.

Im actually surprised there are not better reviews from what Ive read. I have to say however, I think more people should give it a chance for longer. Your body is going to react strangly to a new hormone being put into your system. I LOVE this product. I have been on it since I was 16 and I am now 23 years old. So I think having been on it for 7 years, I would be a good person to ask questions to. When I first started it, I do remember bleeding more for the first 3 months. After that My period practically stoped, I bleed for maybe 2 days and before I had Severe cramping- Yasmin completely takes any cramping away. Ive never had bad skin problems, but the occasional blemish every now and then- on yasmin my skin is extremely clear and I get compliments on how nice my skin is. Bottom line is keep this product up for at least 6 months before discarding it. Im glad I stuck with it, it has been a life saver for my horrible cramps.

Pros:

Prevents preganancy, regular periods, no acne, no cramps, bigger breasts

Cons:

gained a little weight...nothing major

I have been on Yasmn for about 2 months now. My periods have been on time, hardly any break through spotting except for my first month, no cramps and acne and my breast cup size has increased. yasmin so far is doing a great job. What I advise to other people who are on Yasmin or abou to go on Yasmin is that everybody's body is different. It will take a while for some people's body to react to changes compared to others. give Yasmin a little more time for those who are just startin like me before you make a change or switch.

Pros:

The pros of Yasmin are many. It is very reliable when taken correctly and I have much lighter periods. The absolute best is my face. My skin has NEVER been this clear. I use to struggle with acne constantly; however, NO MORE with Yasmin.

Cons:

The only con is that I don't have health insurance and it is almost 60.00 per pack. I still say, for the clear skin, it is definitely worth the price. Dermatologists cost a whole lot more.

The bottom line is I have used Ortho Tri Cyclen and it was O.K. however, nothing has ever worked this good for me. I love Yasmin because it can be taken in the 28-day format or you can try the new YAZ with only 4 days of your period and a lower dose of estrogen. I am not sure how well YAZ works with Acne because I only tried it for a month and I was continuing to get breakouts; however, Yasmin which is a different product than YAZ works miracles on acne ridden skin. My face is absolutely beautiful when taking Yasmin. I highly recommend to everyone; especially people taking birth control pills to help with acne. Hope this is helpful, Angie

Pros:

Not pregnat, good mood, no head aches, no weight gain

Cons:

Acne, nausea

It seems alot of people here hate this pill but i love it. Aside from the small amount of acne and some minor nausea i have had no major side effects. Although it may be the cause of some diareah and frequent urination. These problems are not bad or that bothersome. I have been in a great mood since starting Yasmin!!!

Pros:

The best skin since the results from Accutane deminished. PCOS symptoms are gone - male pattern hair growth, thinning hair on head.

Cons:

Zero sex drive, but that has been the case since my older daughter was born almost 5 years ago.

After hearing negative comments from my sister and reading the same, I had to comment. I enjoy great results with this pill. The breakthrough bleeding lasted the first 3 months, but once I made it through the transition no trouble. It is very carefree.
