Pros:

Didn't get knocked up. Score.

Cons:

I was prescribed this when I was 19 and living in Florida and now 10 years and 5000 miles later, I've gained 40 pounds from it.

I recently went off because its not healthy to have your body assume you're in a constant state of pregnancy and therefore the ovaries won't release eggs. Take into account that in studies, women on average gained 7-10 pounds a year on Yasmin. I never got acne or weird werewolf-like hair growth and it did the job. Initially I lost about 10 pounds because I'd be so nauseaus after taking it, but oh, that soon ended. The price started at $25 for me and before I left for Ireland 3 years ago it was $65 a month. The government should be paying me for being responsible and not bringing random children into the world like others.

Pros:

Obviously not getting pregnant.

Cons:

Moodiness, breast tenderness, skin is the worse it's ever been but I'm on week 4 so doctor says hormones need to balance out before I see clear skin, he said could be 3 months!

I don't take the placebo pills my doctor said it was safe to skip those and just take continue to take the pill. I will have to wait and see if my skin clears up.

Pros:

none as of yet

Cons:

larger appetite, feeling lethargic, moodiness, terrible breakouts-mostly cystic, bloating. first week or so bad nausea

i switched to yasmin last year when i came off dianette, my skin was clear on it but i don't know if that's because it was still clear from the dianette. i used it for 3 months then came off it because i felt my body needed a break. about 4 months later my acne came back, gradually getting worse. i decided to go back on yasmin. so far i have been on it a month and my acne is just getting worse. i can't believe how bad it is. the new ones that are coming up are mostly on my cheeks/mouth/jawline, all painful cysts. it's horrible. i also feel lethargic, moody bloated and can't stop eating! almost as if i'm pregnant! as dianette took months to kick in (it eventually cleared my skin wonderfully) and my acne didn't come back while on yasmin (was only on it 3months before) i am going to stick this lot of yasmin out a little longer. i just really hope during this second month it gets better because i feel rubbish! if i didn't have the bad acne i do have, wouldn't go near the pill.not worth it!

Pros:

Don't know yet, just started last week.

Cons:

The heaviest second day of my period ever, spotting after period stopped. i am moody, down, trouble getting out of bed, low productivity at work. i don't know if they are from this pill, but have been more apparent since i started.

I'll give it to the end of the month.

Pros:

I haven't gotten pregnant

Cons:

about a week ago I had a red, itchy bump on my stomach, then another and another. Now each morning I have another 2-3 red itchy bumps. More acne on face and my boobs itch like crazy

I took Yasmin a few years ago but with updates and maybe how my body has changed, the two don't match any more. I can't keep having itchy red spots on my stomach and now moving up my neck

Pros:

Acne cleared up immediately and breasts increased one cup size.

Cons:

Caused me to have chronic yeast infections that went away as soon as I went off of it.

I was diagnosed with PCOS, and my testosterone was 10 times higher than my estrogen. I had a severe problem with acne all over my face, scalp, neck, back and upper stomach. The acne started clearing up within a week of taking the pill, and as an added bonus I got bigger boobs. My only problem was a chronic yeast infection that would not go away after several treatments. I switched to Yaz, and the yeast infection went away, but I have acne again. I'm going back on it. I would rather have a yeast infection than be covered in acne.

Pros:

Not pregnant yet

Cons:

slight cramps, hungry all the time, lowered libido

I have been on Yaz for 2 years. I think I am much more emotional than before I began taking it. Also I hoped my boobs would get bigger and skin would clear up but it didn't really. I didn't gain weight but am always hungry. Sex drive is lower. I did not realize it at first, thought it was just stress being a downer but eventually realized the only thing consistent was Yaz. Also, the 1st year, my cramps were gone, second year- I have to take Advil 1 day before I begin the big P. ...Owell
