Switching from Estelle to Yasmine
Hi everyone!
I’ve been on Estelle since I was a teenager and got off it last year for about 3 months (just thought I might see what I’m like off the pill) In that 3 months I broke out a little on my chin and at the time I thought it was too much and decided to start taking Estelle again (it’s to control my acne more than anything) anyway when I went back on it I broke out all over my face crazy crazy. Over time most of it went away (forehead spots) but I still have quite a bit of acne on my jaw line cheeks and chin. It’s been 6 months now on Estelle. It worked so great for me for 10 years from teenager to my 3 month break last year, so I’m so devo it’s not working now like it was. Basically I’ve exhausted all my options (dermatologist, topical, oral so don’t bother mentioning other things I can do) my only two options are 1. Switch to Yasmine pill and see if that’s better for my skin or
2. Go off the pill again and see if i clears up at least might have less breakout than I do now.
My questions are
1. Did anyone who went on Estelle for skin take longer than 6 months for it to work for you? Do I need to wait longer?
2. Has anyone switched from Estelle to yasmine or vice versa? I’m worried about switching because I don’t want another massive purge in acne with the hormone changes.
Thanks ladies
