My doctor prescribed me Ortho Tri-Cyclen. So I went on the website and I discovered they have a new pill called "Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo" which is a low dose hormone pill, but they said that for Ortho Tri-Cyclen as well.
Does anyone know the difference? I am 19 years old, and am on the thin side. I'm not very used to taking any sort of medication, so I want to take the right one.
I asked my doctor about YAZ, cause it seemed right, but she said that low doses can be kind of risky like if you take it on a different time or something it may not be as effective.
I felt that because I am thin a low dose may be best for me, but my doctor didn't necessarily seem to think so.

Does anyone have any experience with any of these, or heard anything about them?
Thank you!

Oh and I also want to add that I'm looking for a pill that will help with acne and menstrual cramps and flow.

I am currently on ortho tricyclen lo and have been for the past five months. My first period was ten days long!!!! After that everything was cool. I had no major side effects, absolutely no weight gain but I did miss a pill and took it as soon as i remembered. Now my period is two weeks late... wondering if the pill was strong enough and I'm pregnant or could this be a symptom of the pill. I was overall pleased and cant blame if I am pregnant on the pill because I missed one.

Oh.. and it doesnt clear up acne
