ok my dr started me on ortho tricyclene lo and it made me gain 15 lbs in 2 months and it cant be because of change of apetite and excercise because i work out regularly and i have ate the same way for years, and it made me moodier then ever and i was going through a box of tampons in 3 days. my dr switched me to a higher dose (desogen) about a week ago when i went back for my 3 month check up and everyone i have talked to has never heard of it and i cant find much about it online but according to my dr and the papers it is a better birth control and i can stop having periods on it. and she also said after taking it for a year its 100% affective and i think that sounds a little wierd cause if thats true then why doesnt everyone take it and why cant i find information on it and also id think if you cant prego from it after taking it for a year then couldnt it make you sterile? well if anyone can be a sweetheart and help me out id greatly apprecite it because unfortunatly my dr didnt tell me much besides what i said above. THANK YOU
