I took Yaz only for 2 months while trying to regulate so we can TTC. I LOVED it when I Took it and if I weren't TTC I'd still be on it. I didn't gain a pound (didn't lose either though), had much less acne (the longer I was on it the better it got - and I've been off for over a month now and the acne still hasn't came back...don't know if that's coincidence or what), and much less excess hair (which is definitely coming back after I've been off). I did feel light-headed sometimes and a bit dizzy which I think is a side-effect, but I would assume the longer I would have stayed on, I would have become more used to it.

Never tried Ortho-Cyclen though and these 2 months were my first BCP experience so that's all I can offer. You may have to try them both as all women are very different and react to them differently. I can say that I loved Yaz though.
