Ortho Novum 1/35 period question?
| Sun, 02-11-2007 - 11:09am |
I have been on Ortho Novum 1/35 for approx. 6 months maybe a little longer. I was on Ovcon 35 for a long time before this but my dr. switched me to ON because they weren't making Ovcon anymore and she said ON was pretty similar to Ovcon. Anyway, ever since I've been on Ovcon and now Ortho Novum, my periods have been very very light. So light that I really only need to use a liner. Also, and sorry if this is TMI, but the blood is dark, almost brownish/black looking and it seems kinda dry and sticky. Could all this be because of the pill I'm on? I've always had very regular, normal periods even when not on BC, but the flow has never been this light or this color/consistency until I started Ovcon/Ortho Novum.
Thanks.

Hi missourigrl, welcome back!

I have a friend with very heavy periods and cramping, but she has very light periods while on ortho novum. Mine are light to begin with and almost nothing on that pill. I love it:)
My friend and I are also in MO.
Enjoy it if it doesn't bother you.
