I’ve been on Yasmin consistently for 13 years and have never had issues. I remember the first 1-3 months of taking it I did have a bit of nausea but after that, no side effects. I know I am one of the lucky few, but I really love this pill. I never have any issues and never period pain, I have great skin, no weight gain or libido loss. I haven’t changed brands because of how amazing it has been for me.

It seems with this I lose and gain weight easily, overall loose weight I don’t have much appetite and I’ve lost a lot of breast fullness which is a shame

I am on this pill as a form of management for my endometriosis, and regular ovarian cyst formation when I ovulate. This helps manage the pain (although it's still present) and has stopped my ovulation. I take the Junel 21 Day tablets that do not include the ferrous fumarate tablets and have completely stopped my periods. I definitely feel a little brain fog on this pill.

It does what it's meant to do and it greatly improved my period symptoms but it makes me so depressed and anxious sometimes that I'm considering switching pills.

I really enjoyed this pill and thought it was a great option. I stopped taking it to switch to the IUD because of convenience
