Q: Hormone reaction to BC?
asked by: elisa89 on November 1st, 2009

I started taking Ortho Tri Lo, my first bc pill since I was 16. Back then the pill made me sick to the point I just stopped. Now this time around 4 years later, it was a month into taking them, that I experienced itching over my entire body except my face. I thought it was exzema, but nothing helped. So when I decided to stop taking my bc, the itching gradually stopped. That only other down fall was always being drained, which made me cranky, and mean. But it was a miracle for keeping things on track and lo flow. ): So my question is.., what makes my skin so itchy, and what bc wont have that effect?

The itchiness may have been a side-effect of the Ortho. Speak to your health care provider. Pills come in a few different formulations and they can try to avoid the hormones that was present in OrthoTriLo to see if you will react better with another formulation.
