Ortho-Tri-Cyclen Lo Questions

Hi Everyone-
I just have a few questions. I have been on ortho-tri-cyclen lo for over a year now. I switched from ortho-tri-cyclen. I was on that for about two years before switiching to the lo, when the lo came out. Is anyone else taking ortho-lo? If so what are your thoughts on the pill?
Thanks :)

MANY people have told me they had the same side effects that you had. How long were you on it for? Did you switch right to another pill or stop completely? How did your body react when you came off it? I hope you are doing better, now. Were you ever on ortho-tri-cylen or just ortho-lo?
Thanks :)
Yes i did on sunday(oct.3rd) until now(oct.6)and I taught that would be my period since I skipped it (on september25)but i gez is not.is it because i did not take the placebo,thats y i skiped my period?........what do you think?
I took the OTC-Lo for two months. I know it takes three full cycles for the body to adjust, but I couldn't stand being on it. My emotions were up-and-down for the entire two months, I felt queasy, and had lots of pimples. Also, during the placebo week I had terrible cramps, and no flow. Also, because of my endometriosis, I like to use birth control continuously for two or three cycles before having a period, and I know that it's more difficult to do on tri-phasic pills.
I had been on Mircette previously, which I tolerated very well, but left me with decreased libido. So I knew that I could find a pill that didn't make me sick!
I switched to NuvaRing after the second month on OTC-Lo. My body was happy again immediately after stopping the OTC-Lo, and I like NuvaRing alot!
Lots of people like OTC-Lo, and lots don't. Try it out and see how it works for you.
Hope this helps.
