Ortho Lo And Acne Posted: 11-17-05 12:50pm
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?
