Switched Birth Control
Posted: 11-21-05 10:02am

I am sorry if a question like this has been asked. I am at work and don't have time to scroll through the list.

I was on orthocyclen for about 2 years. My insurance expired when I turned 23 so I had my doctor switch me to samples of ovcon. I really did not like this because it made me irregular. So, I figured when my next period ends I will start back on orthocyclen (i had new insurance by this time and could afford it.)
i have had no period for a very long time. I took three home pregnancy tests which all came back negative. So, I started my orthocyclen again thinking this will start me back on having regular periods. I honestly have no time to go see a doctor right now. Can anyone give me some suggesstions?! Thanks. :x

How long has it been since your last period, and how long have you been back on ortho cyclen? If your period was always regular last time you were on ortho cyclen, it probably will be again. You might just have to give your body time to re-adjust to it.

I honestly can't remember when my last period was. This has happened before. I hope switching back to orthocyclen will fix everything.
