A question for other women who are on Ortho-Tricyclin (Lo)?

I just started this pill today...





I was wondering what kinds of changes you noticed in your body, if any... I was primarily concerned with anything like breast tissue growth, weight gain, high blood pressure, clearer skin, etc... Also, if you previously had cramping, did it help relieve your pain?





Thanks!

I didn't notice a lot of physical side effects, primarily because it is a low-dosage of hormones (hence the "Lo"). Maybe a little bloating, and the cramping did improve after several months of use. However, I actually noticed that it was making me more emotional. I was "on edge," sad, and apt to start crying very easily, so I decided to switch to a different pill.





It also helped clear up my skin! Definitely a nice perk.
Reply:side effects arent necessarily the same for all people, but i was on it for a little while and i experienced reduced menstral cramping, somewhat clearer skin, and some weigh gain (about 10-15lbs). i didnt experience any of the other side effects that you described (although i wouldnt have objected to the breast tissue growth lol)
Reply:I was on it for a while then I changed, everyone is different, I had less cramping. No did not gain weight, yes it does help your skin. No breast tissue growth.
