Dani---

It seems that tri-phasic pills can be difficult for our pcos bodies to process. I personally have been on Ortho Cyclen, Ortho Tri-Cyclen, Nuva Ring, and Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo (2 times). Out of all of these the Nuva Ring was the best for me--- 0 problems. However, I stopped taking it because I lost my insurance and my school only provides Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo at a reduced price. So sadly, I had to switch back to that... it took me a good 4 months on that for the breakthrough bleeding to stop and even now (11 months later) I still get a day or two of spotting sometimes when I move from week 2-3. Maybe try the Nuva Ring or another birth control that has a continuous dosage level rather than tri-phasic? Best of luck!
