Yasmine only has .01mg more estrogen than YAZ, the biggest difference in the two is the fact that Yasmine is a 21/7 cycle where as YAZ is a 24/4 cycle. The decrease in the hormone flucuation by only having 4 days of inactive pills is what helps to lessen those side effects according to my gyno. Its also a great one to try if you experiance migraines.
