Q: Ortho Lo And Acne

Grrr...

Okay, i've gotten over my whole blood clot scare, but now I have a serious question.

Since taking ortho tri cyclen lo, my face has not necessarily "broken out" in what I would commonly call zits, but my cheeks are covered in tiny little bumps. I've never had this issue before and it's making me angry. How long does it take before that goes away? Or is it even the birth control? That's the only thing I can really think it would be, as nothing else in my life has changed.

I just started tri cyclen about a month ago....And it's proven to clear up skin, but it seems to be making my skin worse if anything.

Ive been on ortho lo for about 5 months and my skin has really cleared up! I still get ocasional zits around the time of my period but no where near as bad as when I was not on the pill.

Good luck! :)

Ive been taking ortho tri-cyclen low for about a year, my face a slowly cleared up, but its not huge improvement. My sister is taking ortho tri-cyclen high and it has made her skin completely clear.

But now I have a question now. Has taking the pill affect the sent of your urine?
