I'm on Yasmin, and I haven't had any complaints. I used to be on OTC, then OTC-lo, but for some reason both were making me have really short cycles with very long periods, so I switched. This semester, I've gotten my period early once and late once, but stress has definitely played a part in that.

GP, the ibuprofen thing you mentioned was interesting. I take it quite often, so that may explain why I was late...

As for side effects, I haven't gained weight - except for going up a cup size when I first went on the Pill, which I can't really complain about. The best part for me is that before I went on BC my periods were ridiculously irregular, but now, for the most part, they're very predictable.
I hear ya, sister! I was so irregular before I went on the pill that once I skipped the entire summer!!! I didn't mind.. but it was annoying being "surprised" I got put on the pill in HS for ovarian cysts... and I'm now regular and have much lighter cramps (and much lighter periods in general)

I don't think I gained any weight when I started the pill (although my weight was yoyo-ing at that point from meds I was on) but I did gain at least a cup size too! Wooohoo!!! I'm now a C
