Hello All~
I'm a first timer with the Pill and after researching I'm considering starting OrthoTriCyclenLo. I would appreciate any info.,comments, tips about this pill. I've heard positive things considering that it has a lower estrogen dose(25mcg.) Any response would be great.
Thanks~

hello! Well I don't know how much help I'll be but I'm also a first timer with the pill, and Ortho-tri-lo is my pill. I love it, the first day I was nauseated but after that I felt normal. Just make sure you are eating while you take it. The only thing is, while there is a low dose of estrogen, the dose of progestin (spell??) changes each week, and for me that has caused moodiness, and in the dark blue pills, which is the strongest dose before your period, I am very dry during sex and even have a lower libido all month long. But, that can occur with any pill. I am just considering going on a pill with a steady dose of the other hormone, while keeping the low dose of estrogen. It's a great pill and I really hope it works for me, like I said i'm also new to pills so I don't know how much help I'll be, as I've only been taking it for about a month and a half! Good luck hun!!
