SO SHINY
SO CHROME
So my girlfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship. We met in one country where we were together for 3 months, then we were apart for 3 months while we both went back to our own countries. I visited her for 2 months in the summer, then we were apart again, and then she visited for 2 weeks over Christmas/new year. Over this whole time (and some time before) she has been taking Yaz/Yasmin pills.

This July I will be going to live with her in her country (not purely because of her, it was actually already my plan to move out there and poo poo just worked out :) ). However, because we're apart for 6-7 months now and BC is so expensive in her country, she decided to save money and stop taking the pill.

Presumably as a consequence of stopping it, her skin has gotten much worse, especially on her face. She's not too happy about this, especially as she just got a new job. She also seems quite down generally (which sucks because I'm not *there* for her) and I'm not sure if this is just stress (from job-hunting) or if she's feeling that as an effect from the lack of pills too.

How long is this likely to last? I assume it will clear up as her hormones balance out? And when she starts taking it again in June/July before I come, I guess the same thing could happen again, right?
