Pros:

Increase in breast size

Cons:

The worst moods I have ever had
Started breaking out only after a few days
Constant nausea and occasional vomiting
Bloated
Constipated
Fatigue
Bleeding
Breast soreness
Very active appetite, when I don't want to vomit I want to eat the entire kitchen!

I read these reviews and even though most of them were bad I ignored it. I thought that my body would respond difirently. Well one week after starting Yasmin I regret ever buying this product. The day after I started the pill I woke up with severe nausea and I vomited several times throughout the day. My skin changed at first a bit and then some more. My pores enlarged, my skin didn't feel smooth anymore and I stared getting pimples on my forehead and mouth area. The pimples are fairly pink and red so it's hard to cover up with make up. I never had skin problems so this was all new to me. I am constantly bloated and constipated, I am very skinny and in good shape but I am so bloated that I actually look 5 months pregnant! You can even see it through my shirt. Some of the above mentioned I can actually bear, but I am going off this pill because of the severe impact it has had on my moods. I literally feel like crying all day long. I am very touchy and sad most of the time, it's pms multiplied by a thousand! And it has trated taking effect on my relationship. Things I would usually laugh at and find funny now irritate me, I get angry in a matter of seconds about the stupidest things. The mood swings are constant and very bad. I feel very depressed and I'm actually a very cheerful person so this is really bad for me. I know you that most who will read this will think I'm exagerating, but I'm really not. I don't even feel like the same person anymore and it's only been a week. Today I am going off Yasmin and I'm not planning on starting again! The side effects are far worse that the symptoms you have with your period. And this supposedly goes on for months before getting better. IF it even does! So girls, I would NOT recomend this at all! It really messes you up!

Pros:

Absolutly none!!!

Cons:

weight gain, low self worth, mood swings, paranoid, tingling in arms, numbness in big toes

I have been on yasmin for 4 months now and they have been the worst four months of my life!!!! its only today i've realized why 'm so miserable and unhappy that i resort to hiding away and bingeing on junk food. The only times i am happy and start getting back to normal are when i have my period and am not taking the hormonal pills...... then when i start my new pack it all returns back to feeling horrible. I used to be so happy, slim, sociable.......... now i'm fat, i hate life and i try avoid my friends because i don't want to see anyone. I've also become exstremly clingy, paranoid and insecure in my relationship which never ever happened before i was on YASMIN. I can't believe who i've become but atleast i now know the reason and will never take a yasmin pill again!!! Am looking forward to getting back to the old me!
