Avatar m tn I was debating between Ortho Cyclen, Ortho Tri Cyclen or Othro Tri Cyclen Lo.. I am currently on Ortho Cyclen but I was thinking why am I pumping all this hormones into my body each month. Me and my partner also use condoms as backup. I am even willing to try other brands if 1 is better? I guess I just dont under the difference between them all and the effect on your body good/bad. Thanks!
Avatar f tn Ortho tri cyclen is designed to help clear up your acne.....I was one of it's major selling points. And as for the weight thing...I took it for over two year and never gained any wheight and it dramatically reduced my acne. I have never gained weight from a BCP only the shot (depo) but everyone is different......if it does make you gain weight its supposed to be minor.
1250698 tn?1371351279 I've been on Ortho-cyclen, Ortho-tri-cyclen, Ortho-tri-cyclen Lo, Nuvaring. The types I have not tried was progesterone only, shots, IUD, and implants. Nuvaring was my latest and that was the worst experience I have ever had. Every single type I have used, I have had the same symptoms: nausea, headaches, dizziness, irregular cycles, spotting, weight gain, and mood swings. Since May of this year, I have been doing it naturally, but I am still trying to figure out when I ovulate...
1699847 tn?1306967171 I had the opposite experience with a generic version of Ortho Tri Cyclen...I was able to lose weight and my sex drive went through the roof.
Avatar f tn Now my causing says that the name brand has pink pills insted of green ( the last 7 pills ) and it spins to dispence every pill, and trinessa you have to punch trough the bottom to get the pills... Now I just want to know how the name brand of ortho tri cyclen really looks like, if anyone can provide a pic would be very helpful ...... Please I don't need anyone making fun of me here so for anyone that thinks this is just too stupid please don't post anything here ...
Avatar m tn I have had a hormonal imbalance for 2 years (producing too much androgen) and in that time I had gained quite a bit of weight. I am now taking Ortho Tri-Cyclen and have actually begun to FINALLY start losing weight. My weight loss is not much yet, but I was wondering if taking these birth control pills is actually the reason for my weight loss?
Avatar f tn I went to the gyno yesterday and was given Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo to help regulate my periods. I have not had a period since March 2008. My doc told me to begin my first month of pills on the Sunday following the beginning of my next period. Problem is, i don't have any idea when that could be. Does anyone know if it would be harmful for me to begin taking the pills now and not wait for my next period?
284738 tn?1283106819 3 or 4 months ahead of time? How long does it normally take your body to get all the of the birth contol outta your system and be back to normal?
Avatar f tn So since my period came then and lasted that long, does that mean my period is trying to get back on track? Does ortho tri-cyclen really help for irregular periods? And when should I try for a baby after taking the pill for 3 months? My doctor put me on the pill for 3 months b/c Im trying to have a baby and I have been trying for over 2 years but nothing. Please tell me all u know about this or someone experienced this and got good results afterwards.
Avatar f tn This is how baby number two happened for me!
Avatar f tn ) last month and all was well up until the last week when I started spotting. Well because of my insurance I had to switch to Ortho Tri Cyclen this month so i decided to skip the brown placebo pills so i could "skip" my period, but on exactly Day 1 of Ortho Tri Cyclen it made me start my period Full on! I am on Day 3 and still have my period...... ugh!!!
Avatar n tn I take Ortho Tri-cyclen and I have never experienced those effects at all. Are you on any other meds?
Avatar f tn I've been on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen for about 8 years. I had my period almost two weeks ago and yesterday I had brown discharge when I wiped. This is the first time this has ever happened to me. I am married and consistently have unprotected sex with my husband, he does *** inside me. What could this mean? Could I be pregnant? Thanks for the help.
Avatar f tn me and my husband are trying to conceive but I stop taking birth control in December. I didn't have a menstrual cycle Until February 10. how long does it take for birth control to get out of your system? I have been taking prenatal vitamins for almost 3 months now. if anyone out there can help me how long did it take y'all to get pregnant after birth control?
Avatar n tn Ok...so i began taking the ortho tri-cyclen lo last friday as the quick start option. I am normally supposed to be on my period right now. BUT it has not started yet and i'm beginning to worry. Does taking the pills as the quick start prevent my period from normally happening? Or is it supposed to just start when i get to the "inactive" pills in the pack? Should i be worried that i may be pregnant??
Avatar f tn I was previously on Ortho Tri Cyclen for a year an a half. I stopped taking it about 6 months ago and was off the pill for that time period. I just started a new pill called Lo Lestren Fe on September 2nd and I started spotting pretty heavily for the past 9 days and it still hasn't stopped.
Avatar n tn I have already posted a question, but I'm switching birth control's Friday, and I'm think about going on Ortho Tri-Cyclen because I heard it's almost the best birth control you can find. Any other suggestions??
Avatar f tn I just started taking ortho tri cyclen lo birth control pills august 4, 2013. I started my cycle august 14-24 which was odd cuz it was way to long for me and now its august 29, 2013 and im bleeding again. What does this mean? I was spotting a few days before today but now its getting a little heavier. Why wont my period stop?
Avatar n tn After 5 years on it, she switched from Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo to Ortho Tri Cyclen in May. (She had breakthrough bleeding, no serious side effects.) When she switched, she hasn't found me attractive and is severely questioning whether we're meant to be together. There are moments where she shows she's still interested, and she describes herself as having mixed emotions. (Mood swings maybe?

2020005 tn?1628125976 I stopped taking my Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo on the 20th of this month, but before I even stopped taking it (the 19th) I was having some light spotting, it continued for 3 days, just light brown/pink spotting, I noticed it was EW like, just brownish, does that mean I ovulated this month, or is that just a side effect of stopping my BC, having EWCM??? Is it possible to ovulate straight off from birth control?!
Avatar f tn So since my period came then and lasted that long, does that mean my period is trying to get back on track? Does ortho tri-cyclen really help for irregular periods? And when should I try for a baby after taking the pill for 3 months? My doctor put me on the pill for 3 months b/c Im trying to have a baby and I have been trying for over 2 years but nothing. Please tell me all u know about this or someone experienced this and got good results afterwards.
Avatar f tn s been on anti biotics, every cream, lotion, face wash ect. and nothing helped. EXCEPT for the ortho tri cyclen. The mini pill does nothing for her acne and that's why she wanted to go back on it. HOWEVER; I believe we've found a solution until her body can get used to this pill. I bought her those "sea bands" for nausea. She put them on both wrists and 10 min. later her nausea is completely GONE! We both were stunned. Didn't think it would work.
Avatar f tn Okay I am wanting to start birth control not for the usual reason. I want to start it to lighten my periods and help my acne clear up. I've already talked to my mom about it and she supports me on it. I just don't know exactly which pill to look into. Anybody have suggestions? I'll of course do more research but I need some ideas. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
Avatar f tn i was taking depo shots and stopped bleeding in august and now switching to ortho tri cyclen lo. does anybody know when my period will come?
Avatar f tn I was taking Ortho Cyclen for 2 months and my doctor changed my pills to Ortho Novum. I bled a little when i started the new prescription, about 3 days before the inactive pills, I bled very very little (like 2 days but not enough to even use a tampon). I am 5 days into my new pill pack. I take my pills before bed and i did forget twice last month but took them as soon as i woke up.(between my 2 and 3rd week) I have been feeling moody lately and pretty crampy.
Avatar f tn I got pregnant while taking ortho tri cyclen lo because I had some of the days like you do where I had to double up!
