I looked all throughout the topics beforehand and didn't find one concerning this, so here we go. My doctor put me on ortho tri-cyclen lo and i've been on it for a few days now. A friend of mine is also on the pill, given by the health department, but she liked my pill better (honestly I think it's because my compact is "cooler" but that's just her... We wont bother getting into that). So she went to our local health department, not the same one she went to before since we're at college rather than home now, and they put her on the regular ortho tri-cyclen because they said you shouldn't take the lo is you're over 150lbs. Is this true? I'm going to need to go to this health department later as well since I can't afford to buy the pill myself, should I ask them about it? I've asked a few of my nursing friends and a retired nurse, all say there is only a weight limit on the patch, not on pills. Is there anything I should be worried about since I am over 150lbs? Just making sure. Thanks
