Yasmin : Oral Contraceptive

I really loved how clear my skin was while i was taking Yasmin! I never thought about cysts, although I did still get the little bumps on my forehead, which I should have got a cream to take care of. My bacne was gone; for the first time in my life i could wear swimming suits without being self conscious. Also, my boobs were quite big on Yasmin. I ran out of Yasmin and 6 months after discontinued use, everything went back to normal. I lost the 5-10 pounds of weight, my bacne started to appear, and acne started creeping all over my face. It's almost been a year off the Yasmin, and my face is pretty bad... Why do I not go back on it? Well the other thing that returned back to normal is my hair stopped falling out. My hair used to fall out like crazy! I would sob about it. Six months off yasmin and that changed. I am currently trying retina a and duac. I may try another BC again. Bottom line is, if you don't get the hair loss side effect, I recommend Yasmin.

At first I wasn't sure why my hair was thinning and though maybe my shampoo. However, after looking into my Yasmin, I found many many reviews from women who experienced the same thing. And then, after reading about the potential side effects, I realized exactly WHY I was experiencing the different things I was going through. I told my younger sister about it and she was like "THAT was the BC I was on last christmas - remember, when I was sleeping like 13 hrs a day!" Bottom Line? It isn't worth the side effects - particularly the hair thinning and difficulty wearing lenses. Yasmin truly should be recalled OR the side effects should include a more extensive list.

It's a fact that most people who speak up about a product do so to complain, while the ones who are happy with it say nothing at all. That is why you read so many negative consumer comments, and why I felt compelled to write about my positive experience. Everybody reacts to any given drug differently, don't let the negative reviews discourage you from trying Yasmin. If you don't like it, stop taking it and try something else. I combine it with Retin-A and I now have better skin than most of my friends who have never suffered with adult acne. PS: I tried Yasmin at the recommendations of many friends who all had the same positive reaction to it - whether they had acne or not.

Great pill, loved it! But the side effects were to hard to handle. If i didn't have the side effects this pill would be a blessing from god!

My dermatologist prescribed Yasmin to me as a last resort before Accutane, after I explained that I hadn't really been able to continue long on other birth control pills due to side effects (particularly mood swings, which made me feel like I had lost all control over my own emotions). She wanted me to persevere with this for at least three months to see whether there would be any improvement in my skin. The first couple of months were a bit rocky - I had a breakout on my chin that was the worst I have ever had, and the scars from that took a few months to fade. I did experience some other minor side effects, but nothing that gave me massive cause for concern. After about three months, I really felt like my skin had turned a corner, and it was looking clearer than I had seen it since my early teens before the acne attacked; a year later my skin is lovely and clear, the scars have had time to heal, although I'll probably always have a couple of them to remind me what I went through! Initial side effects have vanished and I feel really good. All in all I'm thankful every day that I stuck with this pill.

I am seventeen with hormone induced ance, and birth control did the trick. I do sometimes still break out into little zits but no more huge ones. I love this product helps me get through highschool.

i have only been on this birth control for a month i never take birth control pills because i can never get past the first month with bad side effects they just never worked for me but my doctor recommend this birth control and after trying some more different one i didnt want to try anymore so i ended up get the copper iud but it ended up falling out to many times so after about a year i decided to try yasmin i havent had any side effects yet i know its only been a month but every time with other i would of had the worst side effects by now and havent had any yet this product works for me ...SO FAR SO GOOD

this is my second time on yasmin and i absolutely adore this product. it definetly says what it does, but as in many other reviews my results may not happen for others. GOOD LUCK GIRLS <3 btw, great price only $30 ! cant beat it :)

I tried Yasmine because I read that it can cure acne. Well for me, it made my mild acne horrible! I never had cysts before, and this gave me massive cysts on my chin and even between my eyebrows! Well my acne is not hormonal and my periods are not irregular. Probably that's why it didn't help me, instead caused much more damage!

I would definetly recommend it. Everyone I know on other birth control have gained weight.
