Pros:

It's keeping me from getting pregnant and I have light periods.

Cons:

I have been getting headaches and I have horrible acne.

I'm going to stay on this for another month to see if my acne gets better. I've heard that it gets worse before it gets better...we'll see.

Pros:

My boobs are growing! no pregnacy

Cons:

Less sleep at night, moodiness, minor low sex drive, very tender swollen breasts, painful migranes, always hungry(but no weight change, I haven't gained in years no matter how much I eat.)

I've been on Yasmin for almost 2 months. For the first month I experienced a lot of nausea, however I never vomited, so that's a plus. My breasts have been extremly sore, however I noticed they look slightly larger but I am not sure if that is because of the swolling. I hear the pill makes women's breasts enlarge, so I hope mine keep on sproutin'! I've always been emotional, even before the pill, so I am not sure if I can blame Yasmin for that. As of lack of sex drive, it's minor for me.

Pros:

No weight gain; regular, light periods

Cons:

Acne much worse
Spotting with 1 missed day

I took Yasmin to treat my acne and it made it so much worse. I was very discouraged. Definitely not for everyone in terms of acne treatment. Otherwise, minimal side effects as far as OCPs go.

Pros:

Drastically reduced oily skin, helped acne

Cons:

While it fixed my acne, it made everything else about my body worse! I had cramps in my legs, couldn't sleep, terrible nausea and migraine headaches, changed appetite, depressed numb feeling, heart palpitation, drowsy

I tried to stick out the bad side effects, because topicals and antibiotics haven't done enough for me, but in the end I just couldn't stand it anymore and went off it. It wasn't worth it. I'd recommend trying it though, because not everyone has side effects, you won't know until you try, and you can always go off it.

Pros:

-not pregnant
-huge boobs!! ( from an A cup to a C)
-no nausea, no mood swing !

Cons:

-Really really bad cysts acne !! i felt awfull !! all over my mouth, very painful!! never really had acne since i was a teen.( 7 years ago). Lower self esteem because of it. Stop taking it but after 6 mouths i still battle with this HUGE Cysts.

seriously if you do not have acne, do not take this pill ! if you have, maybe it will help you but if not, be prepare to have a lot of big friends on your face ! i'm now on the pill aviane ( generics for alesse) and no changes yet. Next is accutane :( Yasmin was my first experience with the pill and i'm 27. Good luck everyone.

Pros:

slight increase in breast size

Cons:

serious bloating, nausea, vomiting, spotting, acne breakouts, moody

i'm currently into my third week of birth control and i have not seen any improvements. the first week i've experienced bloating, spotting and an increase in acne (on my back i got huge ones that are painful.) i used to be on yasmin and it worked wonderfully. so i went back on it, and now its a completely different story. i have insurance so for a 3 month supply i paid like 15 dollars.
