Default Which BCP are you on?

I'm curious because my body is so out of whack lately and I'm wondering if it's my bcp. I've been on Ortho Tri Cyclen for about 7 months and af has been like clockwork. However, the past two months have been hell! I've had 2 week periods, some days I'll bleed during those 2 weeks, some days-nothing! It's so hard to predict, not to mention expensive! Pads and tampons aren't cheap!!

Any suggestions? What works for you? TIA!

I have been on - allese, yasmin, nuva ring, ortho, lo-ovral and currently on Seasonal... Yasmin and the ring were the worst as far as mood swings and I gained a tons of wieght. Lo-Ovral was ok the first month then the acne mood swings and wieght gain came on along with the hair issues.

Seasonal ... yeah it seems like a good notion only 4 periods a year BUT before I stopped this pill to try and reset my body I bled for 3 weeks and now I am patiently waiting on AF to show up. If she doesn't I give up haha -- I have packed on 14 pounds within a month, My moods have stabalized like they have never been before and my acne seems to have gotten better.... The hair loss/gain is kinda iffy...

I would love to find one that works like seasonal without the spotting for 3 weeks but I'm still on that search....

I'm on Mircette. I used to be on Ortho Tri Cyclen but I was seriously depressed while I was on it. I've noticed that many ladies with PCOS can't take triphasics like Ortho Tri Cyclen--they don't do a very good job of stabilizing hormone levels because you get a different dose each week. Have you considered trying a monophasic pill?
