Oh, and I also want to mention that I had pretty bad acne prior to beginning the Yasmin in 2001. I tried all kinds of meds and Yasmin was the only med. that cleared it up. It was amazing. The good news is that even when I was prego, and not taking Yasmin, my face remained clear. So hopefully, if I stop taking Yasmin (Othello), my face will remain clear, too.
