Pros:

Weight loss, less water retention, lighter periods, less cramps and bloating, prevents pregnancy

Cons:

Acne, mood swings

I highly recommend this product, in fact I tell all my friends to get it. I lost at least 10 pounds water weight. I do have acne, but I got some good meds from my dermatologist, so I'm fine with that. As far as the mood swings, well, I just simply warn people ahead of time about that, and it seems to work.My sex drive hasn't changed I don't think..it's always been low.

Pros:

Helped with my horribly oily skin (and consequently, breakouts), my hair seems to have stopped falling out, increased sex drive, all-around better mood.

Cons:

None yet. Potential of increasing my blood pressure, which is a concern for me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it doesn't affect it.

I was on Depo, which made me extremely moody and emotional. Yasmin makes me feel better about myself and has lifted my mood more than I thought possible. My insurance covers it, so for $5 for a 3-month supply, it's worth way more than its cost.

I love this product. I have not had any weight gain or anything. No side effects at all. I take it in the morning, usually on an empty stomach and it works great.

Pros:

Helped clear my skin along with Retin-A Micro.

Cons:

nothing

If this doesn't work for your acne after 3 months, than try Ortho-Tri-Cyclin. I used to be on that for acne, but just found that this one worked better for me. It is different for everyone.

Cured my acne!
I have had acne since I was a teenager, but it had never been as bad as it was when I turned 23. My hormones decided to suddenly wack out and nothing I did helped alleviate it. I've tried going on Doxycyclin, Tretinoin, Spironolactone, topical Clindamycin, and many different kinds of washes and prescription creams. I even tried going the natural route and taking herbs such as vitex, saw palmetto, DIM, milk thistle, and completely changing my diet. NOTHING WORKED. I was afraid to try Yasmin because of the horrendous possible side effects but I was at my wits end and very desperate. The problem was whenever my hormones shifted slightly throughout my cycle, my skin would respond by breaking out all along my cheeks, forehead, and jaw. Yasmin keeps your hormones balanced at all times, allowing no fluctuations. Within two weeks it started completely clearing my acne! I've been on it for four months now and since then I've had three tiny pimples tops and I'm lucky enough to not have experienced any side effects at all. I highly recommend at least trying Yasmin, it could seriously work for you and save you a lot of pain. It did for me!

Pros:

Really cleared up my skin; I didn't have to use anything else.

Cons:

Gave me a blood clot, and now I'm off it.

If you're under 30 and have moderate acne, it can work wonders. However, it's one of the worst BCPs for causing blood clots, so if you smoke or are overweight, it may not be the best choice.
