Breakouts while on Ortho LO
| Wed, 11-10-2004 - 9:53am |
Hi,
New to the boards here!
I just started taking Ortho Tri Lo on Halloween, so its only been about a week or so.
I am very familiar with all the possible side effects, etc. I have been doing my homework. *KNOCK ON WOOD* I haven't experienced any of them, except it seems like I am breaking out like crazy now. Is this normal? Will it go away? Its not bad breakouts, but just red bumps here and there, in places that I normally do NOT break out in.
Any hope?

I just started Yasmin on Sunday, and my acne is clearing up beautifully. (I hope this lasts.)
Maybe I am just making myself breakout by worrying about it. Kind of like you make yourself sick if you keep thinking about being sick.
But just give it some time and see where it goes. I know I am learning that lesson very well. :-)

Most side effects typically occur and disappear within the first three cycles or so when starting a new pill. Breaking out can be a problem, probably only during the adjustment period but perhaps longer. It all depends on how your body chemistry reacts to the hormones in your pills. For most women any skin problems go away after their bodies adjust, so there is definitely hope. Let us know how you’re doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
