Comparing Slynd vs Yasmin

For Birth Control: Originally started taking this pill for terrible cramps and pain during period. After 5 months, Slynd has reduced my period to only 3 days and the pain has decreased somewhat. I was pretty happy with the shorter period and less pain, but the acne is terrible. I had an absolutely clear face and back before taking this medication. Now my face and back are always covered in pimples. I cannot take it anymore I will be switching off of this pill. Just to note I did switch from tri-lo marzia to Slynd and tri-lo is much more effective with helping with acne but useless for cramps. I will be trying Yaz next...

For Birth Control: I started the first pack of Slynd during my period and I had spotting after 2 weeks of the pack for about a week and then I got my period with the placebo pills, as expected for about 4 days. During my second pack I had about 4 days of spotting and some bleeding but then I skipped my period at the end of the 2nd pack (during the placebos) and then on the 3rd pack I didnt have any spotting or breakthrough bleeding until 2 days before the placebos of that pack. So I was clean for about 5 weeks straight, which was exciting. But now I am on my 4th pack and I had heavy breakthrough bleeding only a week after my period ended and I am still waiting for the spotting to stop a week later. The nurse at my gyno practice said it could take up to 6 months for my body to get used to the pill. It has been pretty concerning given that naturally my period cycle was very consistent and regular. I haven't had any other side effects from Slynd other than the irregular bleeding/spotting.

For Birth Control: I started taking the Yasmin pill two months ago because I saw how clear my friends skin got and because I had problems with acne but it wasn’t that severe. Within the first week of intake my mom could already see the difference in my skin and I got compliments from people which really did make me happy, until the 7 day break it was torturous endless anxiety, depression, confusion, mood swings I just wasn’t great company and it did have an effect on my mental health. The worst part is that you need help but from where will it come from because your mind is a war zone. Pretty hurts.

For Birth Control: I've been taking a generic version of Yasmin for the past 4 months (almost 5). I've had issues with breakthrough bleeding before and Yasmin resolved that issue completely on the 2nd month. However, starting towards the end of month 2, I noticed that my hair has lost a lot of volume and I have bald spots in areas that were once full of growth (I have naturally thick curly hair that grows quickly). I've also heard of a lot of people losing an incredible amount of hair once going off Yasmin but for those people Yasmin was helpful in promoting hair growth.
