"I have been on Yasmin for about 3 years now. I recently switched to Loestrin 24 because of all the scare with Yasmin and yaz, but now I&#039;m loyally back to taking Yasmin. I was so worried, although I don&#039;t know why as I&#039;m not a smoker and I&#039;m under the age of 35. So I consulted my doctor and asked her. She said there were minute risk JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER MEDICATION ESPECIALLY BIRTH CONTROL. I would recommend this birth control to anyone! My face has never looked better. I struggled with acne for years and this truly is the only thing that has helped. My periods were extremely regular, with minimum cramping and NO bloating. I did become more moody. I did experience bouts of emotional rage because of hormones, this should be expected."
