"i started on yasmin, then switched to ocella when it was released. i had no issues with it. it helped my cramps, shortened my period by 2 day, and helped clear out my skin. i gained no weight (but was eating very healthy and stayed active). i stopped taking it for 2 months to have a surgery, got pregnant, and am back on it now. i have never had any moodiness, and it has helped with my time of the month migraines i would get. i would recommend this to anyone. fyi, i started on this when i was 24 and am now 27."
