| Pros | The first week i lost some weight. |
|---|---|
| Cons | tired, sometimes dont care about anything, and then others i was very emotional,bloating, right before i started the blue pills i started getting acne on my neck and jawline and cheeks. |
| Bottom line | I got to day 17 on my first pack and itmade me crazy but i think from lack of sleep. cause i started breaking out like crazy and i was taking it to help acne. at first it was clearing my acne up and then POOF i started to break out. and from seeing all these reviews i decided not to wait it out to see if it gets better. this sh*t sucks. |

| Pros | Didn't get pregnant,less acne,lighter/shorter periods |
|---|---|
| Cons | I've been on Ortho for nearly a year now and I'm just beginning to realize, this is the reason for my constant sadness/indifference to everyone/everything. I feel like I don't know what I want or who I like one day, hate the next. |
| Bottom line | Bottom line...I haven't gotten pregnant, my skin is slightly better, but the toll my relationships have taken..is not worth it. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | didnt get pregnant thats it. |
|---|---|
| Cons | constantly bloated, tender breasts, constant break through bleeding, gained weight, moody, didnt really help my skin |
| Bottom line | i was on this for 2 years and constantly had side effects, i just went off of it for 6 months because i didnt know what to do! I gained about 10 lbs and always had the worst hunger pains even if i had eaten! This was my first pill i'd ever been on so i had nothing to compare it with, i didnt think the side effects were that bad until i went off of it. Im now on yasmin and am absolutely loving it!! so glad i made the switch |

| Pros | I didn't get pregnant. My boobs grew. |
|---|---|
| Cons | WEIGHT GAIN, Weepy-ness, Heightened appetite, Lethargy, Depression-(I thought I was clinically depressed) irritability, EXTREME mood swings |
| Bottom line | Ruined my life, in short. I just figured out it was from the pill three weeks ago and only now are things starting fall back into place. |

| Pros | none |
|---|---|
| Cons | loads |
| Bottom line | this stuff is crap. i've been off it for about two months now and i am SOO happy. when i was on low i was angry ALL THE TIME. for nothing. just angry. i was so close to being dumped just cause i was so mad all the time. he knew it was cause of my pills but i was just that hard to handle. im normally really happy and hyper. honestly, this has been simply THE worse year of my life. and it did squat for my period and nothing for my face. and weird as it is, it made my legs feel like there were bugs in my pants. WEIRD?! drove me nuts. and after barely a year of being off it i started having two periods a month. both about a week. so bottom line: dont even bother. |

| Pros | Effective birth control, no break through bleeding, reliable length of period, can almost set a clock to it. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Horrid acne, weight gain, moody, head-achey, migraines. |
| Bottom line | I asked my doctor about my complaints over a year ago and he dismissed them. I just now, after being on this poison nearly since it came out, am I figuring out that the postules, cysts, horrible skin, headaches and migraines are from this stupid pill. Rest assured, he will be getting a call tomorrow morning and I want off this crap. |

| Pros | Improved acne and regular, lighter periods. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Kind of expensive and eventually stopped helping my acne. |
| Bottom line | I have taken Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for 4 years, and for 3 of those years it worked really well for treating my acne. But for some reason, it hasn't been working as well on my skin lately. |
| Recommended | Yes |
