Ortho Tri Cyclen? I've been put on Ortho Cyclen, but all my friends that are on the pill are on Ortho Tri Cyclen. What is the difference? Am I not getting something that they are?

Hi mapper71, welcome!

The same progestin and estrogen are in both pills. Actually, on Ortho Cyclen you’re getting a bit more progestin in weeks one and two than your friends are on OTC. For the exact amounts see “Your Pills and what’s in them…” in the FAQs at the top of the board. Does this help?

Good luck,
