I was on tri-spentec for 5 years (it's the generic of ortho-triclyen). I had no problems. However, in the last 6 months my PMS sysmptoms have become horrendous. I went to a gynocologist & she said I was totally normal that your body changes in your mid-late 20's & PMS becomes more intense. She switched me to Yaz to help control my PMS symptoms. So far so good, but I've only been on it since sunday.

I have been on the Yasmin and Orthotri-cyclen as well as Ortho-cyclen and those never worked for me. So, I tried the patch, which didn't work for me either because I have an allergy to adhesives on anything like that, bandaids and all, so it left big whelps on me wherever I had it and itched the whole time. The one that did work well for me was the Nuvaring. It was wonderful like someone else said, you don't have to remember to take a pill every day. The pills did not work for me because of the hormone levels, they gave me migranes, but the Nuvaring has a lower dose.

I was on OthroTriCylen for 8 years and recently switched to Yaz. I love it.

I can tell a difference in my moods and my skin has gotten SO CLEAR! It is FDA approved to treat moderate acne as well as get rid of the severe mood swings associated with PMS.

I was on Yasmin for a few year and it worked well for me. My periods were noever regular so this was one reason for taking them. I quit taking them about 6 months ago because I just want to take a break from it for a while. So now we are being VERY careful! LOL
