Anyone used Yasmin contraceptive pill?

[collision]

Was told by skin specialist today to go on the Pill and that Yasmin was skinfriendly and that you didnt tend to put on weight with it. I need to go on the pill so that then in 3 months I can go on Roaccutane for my horrible skin!

Anyone used it and are there any side effects I need to know about?

I took Yasmin years ago and it gave me terrible migraines, Yasmin is the american name for the pill we know as microgynon.

I was on microgynon and i put on a stone in a week, i did not look good.

I've been on microgynon and yasmin.
I put loads of weight on and got spots with microgynon but yasmin was ok.

I put on weight instantly with dianette, high blood pressure with microgynon but loved Yasmin, felt great and no problems at all. I'm sure different pills affect people differenlty but I'd still recommend Yasmin.

I got this information from a recent artical in cosmopoliton, saying that many people in this country weren't aware, i was tried on both of these pills and had exactly the same side effects.

I have to go on the pill so that I can use Roaccutane if the antibiotics are no good. Dianette can only be used for a short time I think whilst Yasmin is for longer term treatment.

Thanks for the replies. So...I can either put on 3 stone in a week and have more zits or I will lose weight and have clear skin!! Triffic
