For Birth Control "I'm 17 and I took this pill for around 2 years. Initially, I started this pill to help with my heavy and irregular periods and my acne. I've had moderate-severe acne since I was 7, and I was desperate for a change. I never completely got rid of it over two years, I'd still get breakouts, especially on my back and chest. Little did I know that the type of progestin in this pill is not known to help acne. My gynecologist switched me onto Yaz today. However, this pill did regulate and lighten my periods, but not without terrible, terrible cramps. I also started noticing hair loss over the last year, but that could be due to stress. It had no effect on my mood, and I didn't gain any weight at all, so that was nice."

For Acne "I've been on this pill for 2 months, and the acne is horrible! Yes, it prevents pregnancy, so that part works, but this acne sucks! Constant breakouts on my chin. I'm going to switch pills!"

For Birth Control "My favorite birth control I've ever taken. I had no period and no acne. My skin was amazing. I discontinued it to start a family, but I will be getting on it after the baby."
