orthotricyclen lo

[micheguns]

hi ladies,
is anyone on orthotricyclen lo, as opposed to orthotricyclen. I just started 2 days ago and am hoping that it will help with acne and regulate my periods/hormones, because i don't have a period because my body doesn't produce hardly any estrogen and i have really oily skin...i need advice..thanks

I'm wondering too! I'm starting OTC-Lo for the first time today, and I'm really worried about weight gain. So far, the regular OTC, Mircette, and Yasmin have all made me gain weight. Yasmin was terrific for my skin, though. I'm really hoping that I can finally stick to a BCP!!

I've been on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for 3 weeks. I haven't had any problems with it yet. It's helped clear my skin up a lot.

mysterygrl,
are you on ortho lo for BC, period regulation, acne, etc...and have you tried any others?

I just heard about OTC-LO yesterday so I'm totally in the dark about it - I'd love to know about the experiences any other ladies have on it. I'm the same as TimDream, regular OTC and Mircette made me gain weight..so did Loestrin 1/20. I'm currently on Yasmin and although I haven't gained weight...I do experience some calf and arm pain. That's pretty much the extent of the bothersome side effects though - I actually lost weight on it (could be because every 3rd week I get nausea? ) lol.

I'm also interested in anyone who's tried Alesse and Levlite to see how they worked out.
