I took Ortho Tri Lo for 2 years & I found that it to be effective. The downside however, was weight gain -- rougly 10-15 pounds & that included breast growth (a full cup size.)I also battled acne, which I never had before. The weight is hard to kick once you start the pill. Since Ive been off it, my breats shrunk and Ive shead some of the boat. It I am currently trying Implanon (Arm Implan ... Show Full Comment

The weight is hard to kick once you start the pill. Since Ive been off it, my breats shrunk and Ive shead some of the boat. It I am currently trying Implanon (Arm Implant) but if it doesnt serve me well, I will likely switch back to this. All in all, there isnt too much to complain about. When I started Ortho Lo, I knew the effects it could have on me. Just stay informed & remember that anything you put into your body, will alter its natural flow in some way. rnb

My first month of taking this, I got 2 periods! Both were heavy. The second month, I got my period about a week and a half late. I thought something was wrong with me. It has made me very moody and depressed. I want to switch off of it!

I used Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for over 2 years and had no problems with it. I currently switched due to my insurance not covering it anymore, but wish I could have kept using it! The only effect I got from taking this birth control was an increase in breast size. My period took almost 2 months to come back after I stopped taking them, but apparently that's nothing abnormal.

Today I bought tri-sprintec because ortho tri cyclen lo, the pill that I have used for years, is now out of my price range because I no longer have insurance. I was nervous about taking a new pill so I wanted to look at what people were saying about it. Many of the comments were negative, so I decided to look at Ortho tri cyclen lo comments.

Again, almost all were negative. Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo has been so wonderful to me for so many years. I have not gained any weight, have not had mood swings, and I still love having sex with my boyfriend. What it comes down to is that every woman is different and will react differently to different birth control. In order to know how you will react you can only use trial and error. I love this pill, and despite bad stories you should try it.

The otl has been effective in the use of birth control. I have taken the pill for 3months and have experienced weight gain (about 10lbs), moodiness and depression, headaches, and more frequent periods. I was on yaz before this and would love to go back. i would not recommend this pill to anyone.
