I just started taking Yasmin 2 days ago now after reading everyon...

I used Yasmin for 4 years. The only side affect I really had was melasma, darkening of my facial skin. Yasmin completely cleared my skin of acne, but the melasma, on my fair skin, was obvious, embarrassing, and hard to get rid of. I have a family history of this and have not heard of anyone else having this problem. Overall, I think it is a good pill and would recommend it. I have and still do, suffer from mild, persistent acne. Yasmin was the only BC that ever got rid of it entirely. I would still be on it if the melasma was not a problem for me.

Hey! I have been taking Yasmin for months. I have lost weight, my skin is great, and the only side effects I have noticed is loss of appetite and constipation (which probably isnt caused by the bc). I have no appetite, so I could not be going to the bathroom as often because I dont eat as much. I love this birth control! I think it depends on the person....
