Pros:

Clears skin. No weight gain.

Cons:

Once you stop taking this after using if for an extended length of time...your acne may be worse than it was before you started this BCP. Be warned!!!

Do not take unless you have to! I am in my mid 20's and I've never had to deal with acne like this until now. I took this for BC purposes. I had great skin prior to using this; only one or two monsters a month. My skin stayed the same throughout the 3 years I was on it. I stopped this 9 months ago and now I have moderate acne and scarring.

Pros:

Regular, Lighter periods. Prevents pregnancy.

Cons:

Slight weight gain. Always feel hungary. Some mood swings.

I have been using Yasmin for about a year now. So far, no babbies. I have gained about 8 pounds since using the pill. I tend to feel hungary all the time and have some mood swings. My periods and are more regular and a lot shorter and lighter. The pill has helped to slightly clear my skin, but I still have a few random breakouts every so often.

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:

slight weight loss (water weight), clear skin, protection against pregnancy

Cons:

mild headaches first month..thats it!

i was on otc LO for about 2 years and constantly felt bloated and had break through bleeding. I went off the pill for about 6 months and decided to try yasmin despite all of these negative comments. So far so good! I started my 2nd pack last night.**With any birth control, they have a tendency to depleat essential nutrients in the body, such as b6 and b12,thus the depletion of these nutrients can cause symptoms such as depression and mood swings. I take a b50 complex in the morning and my pill at night. Taking b vitamins is good for all women, especially those on the pill as it often lessens the side effects that it can cause. I didnt do that when i was on otc lo and had many side effects but am doing it now on Yasmin and i feel great! Also, its best to wait out any pill for 3 months before giving up on it. Here is a link about the vitamins to take while on the pill : [link removed]

Pros:

Kept me from getting pregnant, A LOT less cramps, lighter and shorter period

Cons:

extreme sensitivity to smell (nausea), sore and swollen breasts, not as much mood control as I expected.

Good for shorter, lighter periods and preventing pregnancy. Can't say that I can give it much more credit than that.

Pros:

Finally...this stuff is working. I am on month four. It was prescribed to me for my adult hormonal acne. The first three months were horrible. I can happily report I have had ZERO new acne now that I have started my fourth pack.

Cons:

Horrible initial breakout. I was miserable, but I didn't give up. It took three months for Yasmin to get my hormones under control and for everything to stabilize.

Works great for hormonal acne. Try it, but give it time and be prepared for things to get worse before they get better. Yasmin has completely cleared me up and I had moderate, occasional cystic acne before.

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:

Skin has cleared up almost completly, also has a very smooth and soft texture. It is an effective form of birth control. No periods!( I cycle the pills)

Cons:

A little bit of weight gain, and some moodiness and depression. The skin on my face feels a little bit dry sometimes and needs extra lotion. You have to remember to take them everyday.

I love it. It is amazing to finally be able to touch the skin on my face and it feels smooth. There were small bumps all over my face as well as larger ones here and there and they never went away no matter what I did. Since starting on Yaz my skin has gradually cleared up and I feel like a different person. It's great.
