HELP, MY ARM--

Oh, accept the pain, Frank!
I have a question :)

I've been on ocella/Yasmin for the past 3-4 years. I've been hearing a lot of bad things about Yasmin/my doctor friend trying to scare the bejeebus out of me and he suggested Loestrin. I did some research and found that Loestrin being a lower dosage, might mean a lower chance of developing nasty clots? BUT, some of the symptoms of Loestrin include developing extra hair and acne break outs which is something I do not want to go through at the age of 22.

My question to you fellow, much-more-knowledgeable goons is whether or not it's worth switching to Loestrin IF Loestrin means a lower possibility of developing a clot because of the low dosages? Is the Yasmin publicity blow up worth listening to? Or should I skip this and go straight to a gynecologist about all this?

Thank you for both of your inputs! I really appreciate it. Yasmin has been working for me, and it seems like the chances of any issues are low. Hearing about people who are/were also on Yasmin and not worried is really reassuring.
