For Acne "I had terrible cystic acne in my 20s, and my OBGYN recommended starting on the YAZ combination pill. This was my first experience on BC pills ever. My insurance covered only generics, so I began on VESTURA. Tbh, the first 2 months on this pill were BAD. It cleared my acne, but it also caused me to have a regular period for 60 days. The constant bleeding caused extra fatigue, and depression followed due to the lack of energy. I voiced my concerns to my OBGYN, but she pressed me to continue the pill into the 3rd month and report back. I'm glad I did stay on it. Literally, on the start of the third pack (3rd month), the bleeding stopped. I had been on the pill for 2 years and never had any bad side effects. Some light bloating at times, but nothing else. Periods were always on time, with light to no cramps. Emotions felt more balanced. And effectively, no cystic acne, which was a relief."

For Birth Control "Life-changing in the most negative way possible. Since starting this pill, I have gone on anxiety and antidepressant medications, not knowing my birth control was the culprit. I have had the worst 6 months on this pill. It has affected me not only mentally but physically, my gut health is messed up. I am bloated all the time and was diagnosed with IBS. This is an effective birth control but not worth the consequences."

For Birth Control "Was on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for four months, which gave me unbearable cystic acne that I've never experienced before. My cheeks/jawline became 80% swollen, red, and covered in painful acne. But now, after two weeks, Vestura has cleared my skin, just waiting for these terrible red marks to fade. My breasts have gotten smaller, which is a bummer, but so far, so good. No bloating or breakthrough bleeding! Everyone is different, so it's worth trying, even if something has been reviewed or didn't work for some people."
