Yasmin pill and irregular periods

This was the first pill I've taken and was on it for about 5 months. When I first started it I had the worst breakthrough bleeding and cramps so bad I was bedbound but thought that may be my body just getting used to the hormones as I'd never been on the pill before. However, I breakthrough bled a 'period' every month for a couple weeks whilst not on my break. I had no weight gain or mood changes which was great. This really helped my acne!!! I've struggled with back acne for years and this has improved it drastically. However, I also developed pretty bad eczema all over my body a month into taking it which I haven't had since I was a toddler. I've been off it for a week and it has actually gone down so much.

when i first went on yasmin it broke me out really bad i decided to stick with taking it and eventually my skin cleared up and looks good now. however, yasmin has made my mental health awful. i’m depressed, anxious, paranoid, jealous and i’m more sensitive. it also made me gain weight, which i wasn’t really worried about as i was quite skinny before. it also made my boobs bigger. i also get waves of nausea a lot and bloat a lot more after eating. i’ve decided to come off of yasmin- i do not recommend.

I was so scared to start birth control because I was scared of gaining weight but this is honestly perfect. Only side effect is occasional irregular periods but like that’s about it. 10/10 recommend!!
