"i&#039;ve been on yasmin for 11 months, i switched this year because on yaz (5 years on it) i was spotting fairly regularly (more in the last 1.5-2 years).so we decided to try this one because it was the next closest to yaz (just higher estrogen) and i did not do well on mirena (18 months on it and i got awful cystic acne along my jaw line, i was losing my hair, and getting body hair in weird places lol i&#039;m not a hairy person, nor do i have acne problems). i love yasmin, it stopped my spotting, but my sex drive is basically non-existent. my skin is fine, i didn&#039;t have any strange side effects other than the decreased libido. it isn&#039;t 1 pill fits all don&#039;t let the negative reviews scare you, talk to your dr and pharmacist about what&#039;s best for you"
