 5  contraception+controlling skin light spotting between periods the first couple months, but it seems to have subsided So far it is really helping to control my chronic skin problems due to P.C.O.S. I still use the topical stuff, but Yasmin did the trick. I would recommend it to women experiencing such problems. It also regulated my periods. F 31 5 months

 5  Very heavy periods Some nausea the first month, some breast tenderness throughout the month, slight breakthrough bleeding if I miss a dose I LOVE Yasmin - it has changed my life. For me it has had the side effect of controling my anxiety and depression. I feel much more even in my moods throughout the month. My periods are very light and last less than 4 days. My doctor said people either love Yasmin or hate it. For me, it somehow works with my body chemistry beautifully. You need to try it for yourself before passing judgement, each person reacts differently. F 36 2 years

 5  Birth control & acne Break-thru bleeding if I miss a dose I've been on probably a dozen different birth control pills, and Yasmin has been fine. I haven't gotten pregnant and it cleared up my acne after about six months of taking it. One or two times I've experienced break-thru bleeding when I miss a day... but that's pretty normal for missing any BCP (at least for me). F 34 3 years

 5  Birth Control and Endometriosis I've only had two side effects: 1) the first month I felt queasy for about a week. After that, about every 6-7 months I feel queasy again for a week; and 2) foot cramps. I got rid of those by drinking gatorade every morning or eating a banana. Of the three types of BC pills I've been on, this is by far the best. It has had the least amount of side effects (no weight gain, emotional changes, or acne). And my period is like clock work. I know exactly when it's going to start and stop. F 30 2 years

 4  Heavy periods and acne Mood swings, nausea (which got a lot better after a few months) All in all, I am happy that I started taking Yasmin, it has helped a lot with my skin and now I also have fairly light and manageable periods. I have noticed some vaginal dryness and mood swings. But, in my case, I feel like the negative side effects are outweighed by the positive ones. However, I do not recommend this birth control to everyone, but if you understand the risks and side effects and need it for medical conditions -not only contraception than I think it is worth it. If you are looking for contraception I think there are better products with less risk. F 20 5 years

 4  Regulation / avoid pregnancy Always loved this birth control. Never gave me any side effects. I just went off of it for 2 months and recently started again but this time on the generic brand Zarah 28. I went to bed tonight a tad hungry (I guess I ate dinner to early) and took my pill around 12 midnight. I woke up with extreme nausea and cramping at 5am this morning. I hope it is the pill. I can't see what else it would be. I've also had bad cramps and been spotting for 5 days now. A few days ago my spotting was so bad I had horrible cramps resulting in diarrhea that lasted about 3 hours. I hope this is just a side effect of my body getting used to it again. I feel so sick right now I'm having trouble typing but closing my eyes gives me such spins. This is strange because when I was on it all these past years I never noticed this. F 27 3 years

 4  PCOS, oily skin, acne, missed perio Extreme thirst, bad heartburn, arm and hand numbness,cramps,random nausea, and bloating. Pros: Regular period, less mood swings (then all the bc pills I have been on), skin isn't oily anymore, cleared most the acne, slowed down the excessive hair growth, and gave me back my breasts. I had quit taking bc pills for 4 months, and started getting horrible pcos symptoms. If you have pcos the pros out way the cons in this case. F 19 1 months

 4  Regulate periods/skin I was taking Yasmin then Ocella, the generic. Side effects were increased GERD, migraines, and temperature sensitivity. Ocella/Yasmin cleared up my skin problems and regulated my cycle. However, I have had a ton of health issues occur. My adrenal glands were pumping out a ton of cortisol, I was not absorbing Vitamin C (was diagnised with Scurvy), was not absorbing D or B either. My eyesight went rapidly down hill, and I ended up with hypothyroidism. I am now on a ton of medications and vitamins and have too many specialists for my age. I also had an unknown tumor form on my spinal chord, and my cecum twisted. I now wonder if there was a connection. Ocella is no longer controlling my cycle, and after about 10+ years, I am changing BC pills. It will be interesting to see what happens. F 43 10 years

 4  Acne and horrible period cramps Just a quick sharp migraine whenever I take it and feeling tired about an hour after. It is amazing, I have clear skin acne (I always used to but recently I had my first acne problems until I took Yasmin (I am in my mid 20's). My skin clear within only 3 days. I lost weigh, I am going bathroom for number 2 more often, so boost my metabolism. No mood swings, at all, if anything I always had them and now I am nicer, and my boyfriend is happier (if anything I believe those people that say they change their mood, is just people who finally found an excuse to have tantrums). My cramps are less painful. A little bit of tender breasts. My sexual drive decrease (but it always does certain times of the month), now it is all full blast and I have sexual desire like I always had. So overall, it is really great. And yay!, I am also finally not constipated, finally I go bathroom with no problems. Oh yeah I crave proteins. Which is good actually, it helps me stay strong through long hours of work and school. F 24 30 days
