"hi all! no history of any acne during my teens. started bcp when i was 17, now at 26 i went off (ortho tri cyclen) to try the mirena iud. i went from having not one pimple a year to about 5-6 large cysts a week. i had the iud in for about 5 months and started breaking out almost immediately after i got it. i got the iud out about three weeks ago and started taking zarah (generic for yamisn). my insurance will not cover yasmin and i can&#039;t pay for it out of pocket. i&#039;m finishing my first pack this week, i&#039;ve seen no improvement. will continue to take it until i get used to it and i&#039;ll report back to you ladies. i hear month 3 is the charm. wish me luck. i hate make up and can&#039;t wait to go back to my clear skin again. this sucks!"
