Should I Switch to Yasmin? Posted: 01-02-06 13:31pm
Hi, i'm new to this site. I've been on
alesse for about 2 years and my skin has
never been that great on it. I though of
switching to yasmin for the skin issue but
I am affraid of the switch. Has anyone
else switched from alesse to yasmin? And
will my skin maybe get worse at first?
I'm really horrified so any help would be
great.

I have actually heard a lot of good things
about yasmin regarding the skin looking
clearer, and many women use ortho tri
cyclen/ortho tri cyclen lo too.
There is nothing dangerous about switching
pills, and if you are interested in trying
another pill, go for it!

Have your switched pills? Just
curious...Bc I am scared of the side
effects with switching. I know everyone's
body is different. I just can't take
these ups and downs with my skin.

I cannot use hormones. But many women
switch pills. Women tend to like pills
that help their skin out.

i've never used yasmin.

I was taking ortho tri cyclen and I
switched to ortho lo. Then after about a
year I decided to try seasonale, and I
took that for 3 months. Then I decided
to try the patch because I didn't want to
have to remember to take a pill every day,
but I didn't really like it. I didn't
have bad side effects, it just drove me
crazy having something stuck to my body.
So I decided to switch back to ortho lo
because I took it for a long time with no
problems, and that's what i'm on now.
I'm very indecisive :) but I never had a
problem with any of the transitions.

Were you prone to acne in the first place?
I know I have so many questions but I
don't want to gain weight, or break out
bad...
