Re: Need help and advice!

Thanks guys! I called my doctor and she wasnt in but I talked to my friend who has been taking BC pills forever and always talks to her doctors about everything (she like lives at the doctors...lol). She said that I could just stop it now. I am going to because I agree with Babygirl, already my experience with it is terrible. I'll talk to my doctor tommorow and see what she says..maybe I'll go on a different one....Thanks so much for the replies

Re: Need help and advice!

I am glad you decided against it. Your body would probably do better with a BC pill that has the same steady hormones every day (monophasic). That is why the Ortho Tri lo is probably messing you up because it is triphasic with a different amount of hormones every week. Good Luck!

Re: Need help and advice!

Okay I just talked to my doctor and she said that Ortho tri-cyclen and ortho lo are supposed to clear the skin..I said It was breaking me out, so I either wanted to just get off it or switch to a different brand of BC. She said okay...I told her I would call her to tell her which I wanted to switch too. The thing is I have no idea which one to switch too...She recommended Alesse and Apri, anything with 20-30 mcg of estrogen. I am just afraid that I will still breakout. Who has had any luck with these brands or other brands (yasmin, estrostep..etc). She recommends that I go on a pill because I am sexually active.
