New here. Pill for polymenorrhea?

My doctor has prescribed ortho tri-cyclen lo because I am having polymenorrhea. I'm supposed to start it with my next period. I'm a little nervous to start it because of all the side effects listed (especially the serious ones). Should I be worried? Is the pill going to help me bleed less often?

I am acne-prone. How likely is it that my acne will get worse?

Thanks!

Hi Ariane,


It probably will regulate your periods...though it may take a couple of months for your body to fully adjust.
