I've been on Yacella for 4 months now. I got switched to Yacella due to issues with acne. I can say it cleared up my acne and made my skin look lovely and bright. However, the changes to my hormones really weren't worth it. Yacella has made me incredibly paranoid. I developed anxiety so bad that it effected my day to day life and my relationships. It also made me incredibly depressed, which also had a huge impact on my wellbeing. Due to the impact it has had on my mental health, I decided to stop taking it. It may work for some but losing my sanity for the sake of good skin was not worth it at all!

Been taking yacella for 6 months after not being on any contraception in years due to fears of side effects. Previously been on Loestrin 20 and Rigevidon both of which gave me horrible cystic acne and low mood. Dr recommended yacella as it has anti-androgenic progesterone and I have mild PCOS. So far it has been pretty good! I think my mood is unaffected, skin is great, sex drive unaffected. I have had some slight weight gain in more 'womanly' areas but nothing crazy. My breasts definitely have grown a lot and for the first few months they were quite sore but this has reduced to mild tenderness now. I do experience pain, especially lower back/pelvic, and am emotional during my 7 day break, however I suffered a lot with cramps prior to taking the pill so this is still an improvement for me. Would recommend, especially for anyone with hormonal imbalances like me.

I've been on yacella around six months and my skin is clear my boobs have gone up a cup size and I feel pretty damn good! My main issue is I'm hungry ALL the time. I have a really strong appetite that isn't quelled easily so has made me put on five pounds which makes me feel not myself. I'm hoping this will subside?

I was on Yacella years ago and came off as i was very anxious and felt very different in myself. I tried the depo and it had so many awful physical side affects. afters years to reflect on this i came to the conclusion that the previously mentioned anxiety and loss of self could’ve been environmental causes. I have gone back to yacella and couldn’t be happier, my skin has cleared up and is better than it’s ever been, my boobs have grown and with these hand in hand it have increased my mood because i feel a lot more confident in myself. my periods are very light and i haven’t had any negative change in my 3 months back on yacella - would definitely recommend to a friend
