I have been on the Ortho Tricyclen Lo for 17 days now... read about it.. learned that it is supposed to help those women who are prone to break through bleeding while on BCP... women who have issues with acne... and weight gain.... do what i did... find it on the internet and see if it appropriate for your needs... good luck to you!

Unhappy Ortho Tri Cyclen

I was on it from Jan 1999 to July 1999 to "regulate my cycles". I gained weight, had MORE acne, more painful cysitc pain, etc. The only thing I did was bleed every month. But everyone is different. It could be better now in 2003 then in 1999 anyway.
