Anyone switched from yaz to ortho lo? I feel like my acne is worsening on the yaz.... ugh! anyone have similar experience?

My acne is worse on Yaz than it was on Yasmin. I want to switch back, but I'm worried about weight gain on a higher estrogen pill.

I'm sure if you are exercising you'll be fine. I know that every woman reacts diffently to BCPs but sometimes you have to sacrifice certain things for what you want more. I mean for me I'd take clear skin over a lil weight gain I can control through exercise. Maybe you can speak to your gyno about what you can do to control weight gain or if you are really concerned maybe she can prescribe something that will eliminate the acne and not cause weight gain... not sure if this helps.

I am also wondering about Ortho tricyclen lo. I'm getting off Yaz and considering switchng to OTC lo, I know that triphasic pills aren't the drug of choice for PCOS, but I'm not too big about the higher estrogen in Ortho-Cyclen (my second choice) .
