My doctor prescribed this because I get migraines and should not be taking any bc with estrogen in it. She warned me that it was not as effective as regular bc but I figured it would be better then getting a stroke in my 30's.

I am currently on Errin and I am extremely unhappy. I have gained nearly 10 pounds, my skin is EXTREMELY broken out. Even on my back. It is disgusting. And to make matters worse, I have now been on my period for SEVEN weeks! I would NOT recommend this pill to anyone. I have seen my doctor twice about this problem but she insists it will get better.But I do not want to continue use.

This pill has made my face and upper back break out very badly. I used to have great skin, not any more. Unfortunatly, I can't take estrogen so I'm stuck with it.
