am thinking about going back on the pill and have heard good things about yasmin. i've heard that it helps to regulate your weight and clear up acne? despite being in my twenties i swear i have worst skin than as a teenager!! any reviews or suggestions appreciated.

Yes i have been on it for about 6 months. It made me pass urine a lot, which did help to loose a little bit of weight. I cant recall getting spots on it or having any flare ups.

However i got very moody, depressed and aggitated on it. I felt very paranoid a few times before my period. I know everyone is different but this is what i found with it. Dianette helps to clear up acne but i am not sure about it helping weight wise. You could always give it a go and then change to another.

Hiya - i have been on Yasmin for the last two months. After having a 3 year break from the pill i had heard good things about it. It has improved my skin but i have been 'spotting' blood a lot. It got so bad i rang the family planning clinic! They assured me it was fine. I have had pangs of paranoia, too which i have had to control but nothing too bad....x

Hi,
I started taking it very soon after it was licenced in the uk and after years of trying different ones, it was the best one I found to suit me. My skin was much better on it and I didn't gain any weight while taking it. However, I stopped taking it last August and my periods didn't return to normal until last month, but I think it's fair to say that that is probably normal after so many years on the pill! Good luck and I hope you find one to suit you.
