I have started LoOvral and I am wondering if anyone has been on that and what side effects I could expect from it. I would be glad to know. I just changed from Loestrin, my dr said that there wasn't enough progestron in it for me.

i tried lo ovral several months ago, and almost immediately, my skin got super oily and started to break out like crazy. i know everyone doesn't get the same side effects and i am prone to semi-oily skin anyway, but this was really bad. my bleeding and cramps were worse as well, which was a big reason i was on the pill to begin with...don't want to discourage you, but that was my experience.
interesting, my dr is switching me to loestrin now. why did he say no enough progestin? what kind of effects did you have?
good luck!
That's odd....Loestrin has a higher progestin activity than LoOvral, so you're actually going to be getting less progestin overall, but perhaps it's the -different- progestin that he's thinking is going to help.
