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 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 started taking ortho tri-cyclen birth control pills since august 4, 2013 to help regulate my periods. I started my cycle/bleeding august 14 to 24 which was very odd to me b/c my cycles r 5-6 days long but this time it wasn't and my period came august 14, 2013 but it would usually come At the end of the month or sometimes the beginning or not at all. So since my period came then and lasted that long, does that mean my period is trying to get back on track?
Avatar f tn hello everyone my cousin recomended me ortho tri cyclen as birth control mostly because it worked so goog for her... Before that I was using mirena ... And i had it removed due to very bad side effects... So I asked for ortho but they gave me trinessa a generic form of ortho ... Now from all the research I've been doing and the side effects I've had so far with it makes me belive that I should be using the name brand...
Avatar f tn s prescribed me birth control but I never took it. I am now thinking of starting it to try to get myself regulated. The pill is Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo. Any ladies on it or have been on it? Any advice?

Avatar n tn Yes, any birth control you start can cause your period to be delayed. Or you could get spotting or breakthrough bleeding in the middle of a pack. All of that is normal.
Avatar f tn What kind of birth control pill are you on? I have been on both Tri-Spintec (generic Ortho Tri-Cyclen) + Ortho Try-Cyclen Lo, and I know that if you miss 2 or 3 days of the pills, it will give you an early period. Were you taking it consistently before those days that you missed? And did you have sex after those missed pills? Either way, I think that it is probably because you missed those two pills, but if you want to know for sure go pick up a pregnancy test.

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?
Avatar f tn I hust started a new pack of birth control pills this month. I used to take tri-lo-sprintec tablet generic for (ortho tri-cyclen LO) for the past 6 six years, but in Michigan we do not have it in generic form anymore. Therefore this month i started taking Eth estradi/norgestimate and I feel very lazy and sleepy all the time and I see that I have been gaining weight. My question is is what I am taking now the same as what I was taking before because that is what the pharmacy told me?
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...

Avatar f tn I also am on birth control and have been for the past three years but did just chance from ortho tri cyclen lo to regular ortho tri cyclen, about three months ago. Do you have any advice? I am in college and these headaches make it very hard to study. Thank you!
Avatar f tn OK I was on the mini pill but after I stopped breastfeeding I was told to change to regular birth control (which I'd ortho-tri cyclen). I haven't started my period yet. Should I start taking the regular pill or wait until I have my period. Should is it safe to keep taking the mini pill until I have my period or can I start taking the regular pill now.

Then I started agai on june 23rd. and I avebeen bleeding since. I wa wondering if it was normal? Is it the birth control causing it?

Avatar f tn got my period on the 11th of october after the ortho tri cyclen lo but the blood is bright red and after every time i go pee and wipe the toilet paper is soaked with blood. Is this normal after switching from depo to the bc pills?
Avatar f tn They switched me back to my old birth control, Ortho Tri Cyclen, and said it was probably a hormone thing. I started taking my new pill yesterday and I'm still spotting that reddish, pink color blood. I am getting so impatient lol!!! No one wants to bleed for this long !!!
