Not tricyclen..just Orthocyclen.. I know there are a lot of ortho pills out there. Just wondering how you are doing on this pill like mood wise and libido. Thanks so much!

I took Ortho Cyclen for about 7-8 months about 3 1/2 years ago.

Thank you for responding to this question.
May I ask what your problem with this progestin was?

Levonorgestrel (or anything related to it) and I don't get along.

I was on OC 21 for all of last year (my first experience w/ BCPills) and had no major problems. Slightly lower libido, and a little bit of moodiness for the first couple of hours after I took it, but no physical issues. OC Helped A LOT with reducing PMS, cramps or other ickiness. I'll definitely renew my prescription when I get over the fear of going to the DR.
