Just curious to know if anyone is using this BCP? I'm on my 3rd month since switching from Triphasil and my periods are nearly non-existent. I'm not pregnant and spoke with my ob/gyn and was told that the hormone levels are lower and therefore not much of a lining to shed. Has anyone experienced this? I don't know whether to jump up and down or worry! Thanks.

TriPhasil and TriLevlen are pretty close in formulation, but it is possible that your individual system just reacts differently to them. I've been on both, and my periods were lighter on TriPhasil, but it might have been the fact that I was younger and hadn't been on the pill as long when I was on TriLevlen. It's not something to be concerned about medically, or in terms of effectiveness. The two are comparable in those respects.
