Pros:

Cleared skin, lighter perods no weight gain actually lost a few pds on it.

Cons:

breasts tenderness, nausea for the first 3 months on it.

Stopped taking last year because of the potential serious side effects. My acne is really bad now tried other methods going to derm and taking antibiotics and topical creams but it didnt have the same results as i did with yasmin. Yasmin really cleared my skin will go back on it.

Pros:

Keeps me from getting pregnant! No negative side effects except for slight breast tendernes. I am sleeping better, waking up easier in the morning and my face is clearer.

Cons:

I have not experienced any real cons!

I read multiple reviews about Yaz on several sites, before I gave it a try. And after reading reviews and blogs, I was pretty scared. The reviews are so mixed with regard to this oral contraceptive. Many women have shared that their experience has been amazing - this birth control has cleared their acne, they lost weight and have shorter periods. Just as many women have shared that they have experienced horrible mood swings, awful break outs and bleeding for months at a time. Like anyone else considering this pill, I was hoping that I would experience the positive effects! So far, so good! Over the past three weeks, my skin is clearer and I have had no weight gain. I also have been sleeping better and I wake up much easier in the morning since taking the pill. I also have had no spotting or bleeding. I cannot wait to see if my pre menstrual symptoms improve and if my periods are lighter.

Pros:

no zits, less cramps, short period, prevents pregnancy

Cons:

the first month was a bit rocky. emotional, major zits, moody.

If you can wait it out for the first pack, the pill is amazing! My first month made me crazy but I'm onto my second pack, the zits are gone, my emotional rollercoaster is over, it's just an amazing pill! At first I had to eat with it or else I'd get a stomach ache but now I am fine to take it alone. The first month is the worst, try to get past that and you'll love this pill!

Pros:

Clears up acne, helps prevent pregnancy

Cons:

Very emotional, high anxiety, depression, cry almost daily about silly little things.

I was on Trinessa which was great, but I developed a cyst on my ovary so they switched my pill to Yasmin. I've been on it a year and a half and have had multiple health issues. I started thinking maybe it was because of the change in my pill. After reading all these reviews, I'm convinced that it's this pill! I am stopping it as soon as my next cycle!

Pros:

Cleared up my acne, made me lose 2kilos.

Cons:

A bit pricey...

Yasmin worked for me. No side effects - just the fact when I went off it for a short while my acne came back - but when I started on it again, about one month later I was back to normal. Everyone is different.

Pros:

clear skin,better period,weight loss,NO NAUSEA!!

Cons:

alittle bit of moodiness but better then anyother pill ive tried

I asked my doc for yaz and by mistake he gave me yasmin! I have suffered from acne forever and birth controls do not work for me so when i heard about yaz i got excited. When i looked online to find out about yasmin i was discouraged to find out it was making people break out and become moody and also lowering sexdrives! Well it goes to show that everyone is different because my acne has cleared after the first month,my sexlife is better then ever and the moodiness isnt that bad better then on anyother pill ive tried.Id say give it a chance!
