Hey all,

I was just wondering...
for any of you that take ortho tri cyclen or ortho tri cyclen-lo, did any of you notice the pills taste sweet? I was wondering if they were supposed to? I have friends that take desogen and they said their pills have no flavor.

I never held them in my mouth long enough to taste them, and they were too small to leave an aftertaste... The placebo week is actually made up of "sugar pills" lol.

As for the possibility that the active pills could be sweet... it's certainly possible. Advil tastes very sweet too. Pamprin on the other hand, the old tablet kind, tastes disgusting XP I hated it... but needed it.
