Am I Invisible-or What?

Please help me, read my question here and in teen pregnancy, I would really hate to do something stupid, because no one would help me! I thought that's what this was for!

i have recently gone on ortho tricyclen lo and found it very challenging! I would reccomend the pill more than anything else, but just not ortho tricyclen lo. It has given me more troubles than luck. A different ortho tricyclen would be much more effective! Good luck! The pill is not know for weight gain, and I did not gain one ounce!!!

Lucky,

alot of people would disagree with me but I enjoyed the depo shot I had no period why I was on it and no weight gain and never got pregnant while on it but it takes about a yr for your system to get back to normal once you get on it. I agree with the person who posted before me try the pill .
