It's true when i say that eceryone reacts to drugs differently than others. Just have to work a little harder to find the right one. Good luck ladies!!!!

I started using birth control when I was 14 cause of problems I was having with horrible cramps. I was put on Yaz and loved it. I had no side effects whatsoever.

I started using birth control when I was 14 cause of problems I was having with horrible cramps. I was put on Yaz and loved it. I had no side effects whatsoever. After me and my boyfriend broke up, I wasnt having sex so I stopped using the Yaz. Last summer I started to get unbearable cramps again and went to my Gyno to get put back on birth control and she put me on Ocella. About 1 month or so later, I started getting emotional about nothing, I started gaining weight when I was really active and working out and my depression went through the roof. The worst thing that happened was my face. In my 21 years, I have never had a problem with pimples or acne. Well I started breaking out all over my face and back with large, sore cystic zits. I finally went to a doctor to see what she could do for my face and she asked me when this started happening and then she linked all my other things that were going on to when I was put on Ocella. Im supposed to refill in 2 weeks and didnt want to so I can be put on a different type of birth control, but lucky me my doctor cant see me for 2 months. If all my health issues are related to this birth control, then I wouldnt recommend it for anyone. Noone should have to live like this.

I started taking this 1 1/2 months ago and I have had the worst experience. I have had severe mood swings including unhappiness and anger, facial issues with skin and acne and an increase in vagainal secretions. This is defintly not made for me. I hope no one else has to experience this. I was fine on Yasmin and none of these symptons occured.

I have been on this drug for 2.5 years with no problems. Skin cleared up, boobs grew slightly, so depression, sex drive issues or anything. However, in the last few months I started having really long periods (read: 2 weeks) which was very annoying. I am switching to something else to see if that helps but I am a little scared. Ocella was such a good experience.
