"i am 20 years old currently, but when i was 16 i was diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome. i have always struggled with weight, but nothing major. i go up and down, i am 5&#039;7 and i am  always between 135-160. i was put on yasmin and took it for 3 years, and then i went off it for 2 months. while i was off the yasmin, i had no acne. after 2 months, i went back on because my prescription was refilled, and my skin was terrible. it also scarred. i went to my gyn after 3 months of vigorously trying to get rid of the acne, and she kept me on my yasmin while adding metformin and spironolactone. this combination worked wonders after 3 days! lost weight, no new acne, and my cystic pimples have disappeared."
