You may or may not have an initial breakout. On my last pill, Junel, I had virtually no side effects, my acne got better and my painful periods were better too. But you may also have a breakout that first month, or it may continue for a while longer. General medical advice is that if you are on a pill for 2 or 3 months and your acne doesn't improve or gets worse, it's the wrong hormone combination. It does take some time for your body to get used to a new pill, so you shouldn't stop too quickly unless you have drastic side effects. Ultimately you should talk to your derm or general practitioner.
