I’ve been on Yasmin for 8+ years. I first went on it as a teenager to try and help with acne on my face, back and chest. Since being on this pill my skin is pretty great apart from the odd spot when I’m about to have my withdrawal bleed. Sometimes my doctor has tried to put me on the cheaper version of Yasmin (can’t remember the name) but it always makes my skin flare up and they ultimately put me back on Yasmin. Since I have been on the pill for so long, it’s hard to know what is a side effect of the pill and what is my natural body. Mood wise I generally feel ok, but can be a bit emotional and cry over sad things. I do experience headaches and I’ve had the odd migraine recently. I’m looking to come off the pill in the next year or so to try and conceive, and to get to know my body better. But already I’m worried about the impact on my skin and that my body will revert back to my teenage self with acne!
