Hey, third time was the charm for me, although I didn't have exactly the same ones as you. I started with Yasmin (not Yaz) which I loved but my doctor wouldn't let me stay on it as my blood pressure went up and stayed up the whole time I was on it (several months). Then I got switched to Mircette, which she liked for me but my acne was out of control so I begged for a change. I've now been on Loestrin for over 4 years - two different generic versions (Microgestin and Junel) of it actually depending upon which pharmacy I get it from. Microgestin makes me have a bit of acne and Junel doesn't always give me a period, but since my blood pressure is not high on it and there is nothing else really wrong I've been staying on it.
I really think each person reacts differently to each of them and unfortunately, it's a bit of trial and error until we find the right one for us. I'm hoping this one is it for you! Good luck!
