ortho tricyclen

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

how many have or do take this now?

did it make you depressed and/or gain weight?

[EmmaK]

I used to be on it, for several years. Then the hormone cycle-related mood swings started coming back, along with heavier periods. So I switched.

[FutonBunny]

is it bad that i read ortho triglycerine? :FUBAR:

Exploding babies?

The same thing happened to me. I was fine for the longest time, then out of no where, I started getting really nasty mood swings.

I switched to Yaz 2 months ago and so far, I like it.

[LuckyShamrock]

I used to take it, never had any problems other that a couple pound weight gain

nothing to be worried about

Yaz... is that the new low-dose one?

If so... be careful on it. I had a miscarriage last year because apparently I got pregnant on the damned thing.

Exploding babies?

i want a cache of exploding babies





I'd place them stratigicly around the city

Yeah. It was no fun.

It'd give a whole new meaning to "rubber baby buggy bumper"

(and why did exploding babies automatically make me think of Bioshock?)

[lostsoulfirefly]

i vomited every single morning for the four months i took ortho. take pill before bed, wake up and puke, repeat. my gyno kept telling me my body would adjust to the level of estrogen, but no such luck.

on the upshot, it helped to clear my face up but i just could not hang with all the barfing. think i'm a weirdo and am especially sensitive to estrogen though...

[FutonBunny]

Oh and I've never taken Ortho Tricyclen. I was on Orthro Evra for the longest time (the patch) and I never had any issues with it. But I've been off it for months now and my face has started breaking out again damnit.

Must go to doctor and get birth control.

[lupitanahsee]

i took it for almost 10 years. had NO problems. then i started getting ovarian cysts. the dr took me off it cause she said over time with tri-phase bc your body can sometimes get a little wacky and start over or under producing estrogen and that was probably why i was getting the cysts.

never more than a 5lb weight gain and no crazy mood swing for me tho.

and yeah ive been off the shit for a few yrs and still have the cyst problem, so it wasnt that.

[badkitty3804]

I've been on it for years with no weight gain or issues.

It's going to be up in the air across the board, BC is really unique to the individual.

[madeofwires]

i was on ortho evra too and hated it... now i'm using loestrin 24 fe, and love it.

2 day periods = :thumbsup:

2 day periods...whoa i want that

[EmmaK]

That's about what mine are. I'm on Ovcon-35. Except mine lean toward the light side anyway (with or without BC). Occasionally (like 2-3 times/year) they're a bit heavier, 3-4 days.

heh off the BC i went from week of spotting, and week of heavy bleeding to 2 days of hardly anything on it.... AWESOME

[Don Miguel Lush]

so, can you snort any of those?
:afterbuzz:

[LilLemur416]

I was on Ortho tricyclen for years - no problems, no weight gain. A couple of years ago I switched to Ortho Evra (patch) and LOVE it - no problems & I love that I only have to remember it once a week

[Alexis]

I was on it from 15-22 and never had a problem with it. No weight gain, no mood swings, and it helped my cramps. Yasmin was fine too. Loestrin FE I had problems with.


Right now I'm on a birth control break because I think that my acne is directly related to the pill.

I haven't had a real (non chemical induced) period since I was 14/15 years old and I'm really worried about how bad it's going to be. :sadpanda:

[LizE]

how many have or do take this now?

I used to take ortho-tri.

Hated it. I gained a bit of weight and my periods were still pretty heavy.

Then I switched to Loestrin 1.5/30 fe and loved it. No cramps, lower dose of hormones, and light 3 day periods. I was on it for 5 years.

Which reminds me, I NEED to get back on the pill. This heavy uber crampy periods thing is beat. But I have no time to take off from work. :sadpanda: I'll prolly just go to a Planned Parenthood soon, there's one near my house that's open on Saturdays.

ps. Don't take Yaz. I've known and heard about quite a few people who have gotten pregnant while on it.

Say no to nose babies!

I didn't like the funky stuff that got stuck to the patch's edges from the adhesive. Did they update that or anything?

[EmmaK]

:chilly: Good to know.

(Not that I planned on switching, but it's still good to know!)

Fetus boogies.

[Shawn_E]

Fetus boogies.


That's quite funny.

[Kif]

Do you ever have that not-so-fresh feeling?

it wont be bad for a few months.

i dont take bc either. when i stopped, it took 3-4 months for everything to reset back to normal.

sometimes i get crampy, but its actually a whole hellova lot better than when i was a teenager. back then i wanted to die once a month. now its a minor annoyance.

[LizE]

:chilly: Good to know.

I don't know from personal experience, but yeah. That's ALL I've heard about it.

Sometimes I wonder if I've even been pregnant before? If I have then I've never been aware of it. I'd be kinda interested to know for some reason. :ponder:

Hmmm. Before I went on the pill I wanted to die once a month. Then I took bc for 6 years and had no problems. Now that I'm off it, I want to die once a month again.

My dr. once told me that the awful cramping would probably go away once I had my first child. We'll see I guess.

[Don Miguel Lush]

i mean, is there some underground female hardcore recipe like take your BC pill, mix it with cough syrup, Tylenol, and splash of lime juice before going to teh nationZ and you'll be rolling sista?






yeah, i'm bored.

[Alexis]

My mother and all of her sisters have the same menstrual problems. They all told me it gets better after you have a baby.

that would be it then. i dun had my baby :)

I haven't had too much of a problem with that (although now that you mention it, I've noticed that a LOT less now then when I first started it) - if I ever see fuzzies, I just grab a cotton ball & some rubbing alcohol, clears it right up.

To me, that's not enough of an annoyance to stop me from using the patch - plus with where I put it (front, WAY lower abdomn), Chris would be the only person to ever see it...

[Maboroshi]

If so... be careful on it. I had a miscarriage last year because apparently I got pregnant on the damned thing.

oooo, i take yaz so thank you for the heads up.

i'm officially scared now...

I thought they stopped making ocvon? They switched me to Femcon because it was no longer produced, I was told.

black market BC baby!

[[geek]]

Same here, I thought it was gross. Convenient, but gross. I would go back to it if they figured out how to fix that.

I DO WHAT I WANT!











And anyway, I take the generic, it's cheaper :wink:

[xgirl]

i've been ortho-tri lo for 3 years after being on ortho-tri for at least 5 years. mild mood swings and minor cramps while on ortho-tri. less mood swings, no cramps while on lo. no weight gain either time.

[juicyjay]

I got pregnant on Loestrin24.

I switched to Yaz and sofar very good

[angela52882]

I've been on the generic ortho-tricyclen (trinessa) for years and maybe gained an initial 5 lbs but my face has stayed clear and I hardly get cramps.

[sassypance]

I definitely had mood swings on it. I changed after 3 months.

Anal sex: The ultimate birth control.

AND you can stay a virgin :tmyk:

[Funshine]

I hear it's all the rage with the Catholic School Girls.

[xgirl]

anyone have a report on tri-sprintec? i believe it's a generic version of ortho-tri.
