"i had been using the pill for 8 years.  i used the first version of this pill, yaz, then switched to b-yaz when it came out. i went about my life for a few years and then considered switching to ashlyan which is just one period every 3 months. well let me tell you having only one period every 3 months is magical. unfortunately my acne went full force, 6 months into the new pill my entire face was broken out. i was using the strong topical prescription available &amp; still just getting worse. i was at my lowest when i realized the problem was probably the pill. i spoke with my doc &amp; we decided i could switch back to b-yaz and just get 2 extra packs a year and still get only 1 period every 3 months. 1 month into b-yaz &amp; my face is clear again!"
