Finally feel back to myself after stopping taking this pill. 

Taken for a few months however my sex drive and mood plummeted, making me feel awful for the months I was taking it. Stopped taking and it all returned back to normal.

Coming off it gave me acne for 6 months! I lost weight too but I was also exercising a lot more so it could have been that. My moods were also less stable after coming off it but no more sore boobs! Vaginal dryness also went away for the most part.

It was OK (was on it for 4 years with 2 6 month breaks) but I definitely gained weight and experienced PMS emotional symptoms when I didn’t before. Also caused my vagina to get considerably drier. I had tender breasts for at least 2, sometimes 3 weeks of the month which was very annoying, but they did get a little bigger too. No other side effects than that, I think I didn’t try any alternatives because I didn’t know the difference. The long crossover period after missing it was what attracted me as I have forgotten a couple of times.

Went on this pill at 14 to control my super heavy, irregular and painful periods and it did just that - could predict them down to the hour on this pill and were much lighter!! Loved it for about 4 years then started getting awful headaches/migraines and my period became weird - like no blood, just menstrual blobs? GP recommended coming off it as the side effects were concerning and I’d been on it for so long. Swapped immediately to the implant so can’t comment on what it was like coming off the pill. Didn’t fully trust it as sole method of contraception as I wasn’t taking it “perfectly”.

I was on Yasmin for around 4 years to manage the symptoms of my PCOS, whilst I was on it it managed my acne and made me bleed every month. I decided to come off the pill after i recognised that it was contributing to my feelings of anxiety and low mood and I wanted to try and naturally ovulate, something I had been missing for around 10 years. 
Positives coming off Yasmin;
-Improvement in my emotional wellbeing and mental health, I just generally feel more positive and less anxious now.
-Higher sex drive and generally wetter when turned on.

Negatives coming off Yasmin:
- Skin flare up (to be expected for me because of my PCOS), painful cystic acne for around 6 months, it's now settling down.
-Significant hair loss and imbalance in oil for hair and face, leading to greasy hair and acne. The hair loss only lasted about a month, but the regrowing is taking agesss.

All in all when taking Yasmin I felt the positives outweighed the negatives for me at that time and helped managed my PCOS symptoms, coming off of it there were a few negative side affects but 6 months on they have levelled out now.

On this pill I'd wake up in the morning feeling extremely low and I'd cry often, I also had an incredibly short fuse and would get extremely frustrated and angry over little things. I've always suffered from thrush but this pill made it so bad I could barely ever have sex. Sex drive wasn't affected as far as I'm aware.

No longer experiencing intolerances/sensitivity to foods, improved mood and higher sex drive 

I was put on Yasmin when I was 17 to clear my skin, after about 2 years I was changed to Lucette. I am now 23 and up until 6 months ago I was having an operation and needed to come off of it. Since being off I have noticed massive changes. My libido was very low on this pill and was experiencing intolerances to a lot of red meat and spices. Since coming off this pill that has stopped and my libido is not low. But my skin has gone back to being quite bad. I experienced frequent mood swings and very emotional leading up/during my 7 day break.

I used microgynon and then levest for about 9 years and never had any issues! I was good at taking the pill regularly and the periods during the 7 day break were light and lasted for about 3 or 4 days. 

I did notice that I’ve had a decrease in my sex drive, so have switched contraception to see if this is related (and also just to switch things up a bit)

This pill affected me terribly. For the first couple months I was totally fine just had terrible mood swings and was rlly easily brought to tears but around the 6 month mark I started being super bloated and my stomach was sore when I pressed it. Then I got a really really heavy period (for the first time in 6 months) with cramps that prevented me from doing daily life and my mood swings got a lot worse. Overall this pill sucked for me and made my life a lot harder. Would not recommend!

I was put on this pill due to my acne, within 4-5 months my acne has basically gone with only the odd spot appearing. I do think this pill somewhat effected my mood.

It’s only been two days, but my mood has already improved a little. I feel relieved tbh, I don’t recommend this pill if you are prone to anxiety

I have PCOS and was taking Yasmin about a year ago. After 9 months I was having constant panick attacks and crying for absolutely no reason so I stopped it. Recently I started taking Geradel because I have excessive hair growth and I’ve only had two periods this year. After around 2 1/2 months I have just had to stop as it worsened my moods quite considerably and I found it impossible to concentrate on work or anything else on a regular basis. I currently feel so much better but not any closer to having a solution to this PCOS symptom problem. I also would like to point out that I now have serious back pain and I bled for 12 days straight (main reason why I stopped). I’ve seen a lot of people complain about this though. It also hasn’t helped with the excessive hair growth at all either. Disappointed overall
