Ortho Tri-Cyclen-Lo
I have a prescription for Ortho Tri-Cycen-Lo, which I will begin taking when my period begins on Saturday. However, I am getting really nervous about taking it because I keep reading about all of the side effects. It was prescribed to me by a nurse practitioner, who didn't really give me any information or talk to me about which pill would be best for me. I am 28 and will be taking the pill for birth control reasons- my periods are almost always regular, though once in awhile I do get pretty bad cramps and bloating. I am acne prone, and especially worried about otc-lo causing me to break out (I tend to get hormonal breakouts anyway) and about weight gain.
Has anyone had any good experiences with this pill? Or any advice? I am wondering if I should just go to another doctor and get more information before going on any type of pill...
