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.

I've tried quite a few different combined contraceptive pills and this is by far my most positive experience. I actually think the benefits outweigh the cons here- my acne has completely cleared, I'm able to completely control my periods and stop them if I wish and they have worked for me as a contraceptive of course. I've also noticed more stability in my mood which is not something you'd expect from a pill and I've definitely less depressed about my skin so that always helps! Some small negatives- slightly lower sex drive but it's not completely gone, vaginal dryness but nothing uncomfortable and the fact that it's more expensive than other pills. It's a price worth paying to have found something that works for my body! Could not recommend this pill highly enough.

Having struggled with pills for a while (main symptoms for me were acne and sore boobs) i used the Lowdown website to research different pills, and decided to order my first pill from here - Yasmin! I am impressed. I did get sore boobs at the start but absolutely nothing like the pain I had on other pills (the lizinna pill was absolute hell for me) on top of that my skin has improved and I no longer suffer from cystic acne - blame the mini pill for that. Sex drive was up at the start of this pill but slowly decreased although I believe this may be due to other medication I was on at the time. Ready to take my week break and I’ve ordered another 3 months worth. I’d say this pill is worth a try!

Really affected my appetite, I’m just always hungry so have obviously gained weight. I also feel like there is a cloud over me all the time but I experience this will all hormonal contraceptives.
The only benefit is that I haven’t had a spot since I started taking Yasmin and I am one who normally suffers from spots.

I have been on this pill since I was 19 when I was a virgin due to heavy bleedings. I stopped a couple of times and tried the generic brand but that one gave me so many side effects that I had to switch back on Yasmin. So far so good

I started this pill mainly to help with acne but it had no affect on my skin, positively or negatively. I have always suffered from headaches but this pill made them worse and I had a couple of severe migraines where I couldn't leave my bed. My boobs definitely got bigger which I hate. It greatly affected my mood, it made my anxiety much worse, gave me severe mood swings and I felt like I'd truly lost myself as a person. The only good thing was that it stopped me from having a baby. That's it.

I was switched from dianete to Yasmin as I had been on dianete for 2 years. I noticed almost immediately my sex drive was basically non existent. I know this can happen and can take a few months for it to level out. I tried it for 6 months and it hasn't come back. I also felt that my periods have been a lot heavier and painful and I have increased bloating in general. I have now stopped Yasmin and I am about to try a different combined pill.

It’s so good for acne and when I came off it my acne came back but I had no sex drive and was often in terrible moods

Periods returned to heavier ones and my mood was much more up and down than it had been. I'd forgotten how sad as often felt the week before my period

I loved being on the Yasmin combined pill as it cleared my skin up entirely after years of acne. I also had no other side effects. But after a few years I started to get migraines with aura and had to come off it.  As soon as I did my bad skin came back and I'm now on long term antibiotics to keep painful Rosacea away.

Symptoms due to pill subsided after 2 months of not taking it

Was taking this pill for about 6 months, started experiencing chronic vaginal irritation. I was diagnosed with vulvodynia and started on multiple nerve blocking medications and reliant on numbing cream for my vulva. This lasted around 3 years, I stopped taking the pill for another reason and my symptoms have completely resolved and no longer need medications at all. 3 years of hell due to this pill and left with vaginismus due to chronic pain with sex
