I have been on othro novum for 16 yrs and requested a different BC because of a low sex drive, does anyone have any insite on the ortho tricylen lo? I loved the ortho novum because it stopped AF from coming and I think I was kinda spoiled. Do you still have periods with the tricyclen or are they lighter? I know everyone is different but was just wondering how they felt about this pill since I an not liking the idea of switching but I know my hormornes are changing and I fell like the ortho novum has decreased my sex drive.

I've taken OTC lo for the past 2.5 years, and I've definately had a montly period (minus one month). I never had heavy periods to start, but they are much lighter with the pill. My sex drive isnt completely here at all, but it could be due to the pill, lack of desire, or other numerous things. I wouldn't totally blame it on the pill, just maybe a contributing factor. Hope this helps.
