Has anyone tried ortho tri cyclen lo?
It's supposed to have fewer side effects
(esp. Breakthrough bleeding) then most
pills. I'm thinking of asking my doc if
she can put me on that once my depo runs
out in hopes of not have anymore of this
constant bleeding. Anyone, any thoughts?

I was on ortho tricyclen lo for a little
less than a year. Your periods become
very regular and are light and only last a
few days. It is just going to take some
time for your body to adjust to the new
types of hormones, but all in all I know
you will like it a lot.

Everyone's bodies are different and it may
or may not work for you. I was on it and
bleed three weeks out of the month because
the hormones were not strong enough.
It is worth a shot, but if it gives you
persistant problems, then I would switch.
Hopefully it works for you though!

I was on orthro tri lo for 3 1/5 years,
but my doctor just noticed my blood
pressure was going high, last week she
advised me to stay off of them for a month
to see if it the birth control pill.
