Will it go away? - Birth Control Message Board

This is my 2nd month on ortho tricyclen lo, and I really like it. But I have noticed that my face is breaking out. Previously I was using Nuvaring, and it cleared up my skin. Is this a side effect that should go away soon? Or will it always be like this? because i know things like nausea, spotting, etc., usually go away after a couple months. the only other side effect ive gotten was some insomnia last month, and that has gone away by itself.
thanks

The breaking out should go away, too. Ortho TriCyclen is approved for the treatment of acne, and the Lo brand should be no different.
