before using ortho tricyclen i had severe cysts..every other day i would wake up to a painful cyst that would eventually bleed and leave scaring on my face...using ortho tricyclen for the first week i noticed less cysts and the ones i had already decreased in size...its been 3 weeks now and i am completely cyst free...

i have had no noticeable side affects so far..i love ortho and hope it doesnt stop working..

I'm 18 years old, and I would defiantly recommend this to anyone, I actually already have!

I had tried EVERYTHING for my acne and my derm wanted to put me on accutain, but I already have super dry skin so I knew that wouldn’t be a good idea for me. So I did this as a last hope kind of treatment, and it has worked wonders!!! I am so happy I tried this. I only have two little baby zits, as opposed to 10 all over my chin and mouth area.

I’m much more confident and happy!

I have noticed no weight gain or mood swings, but I felt super nauseous the next morning after I took it the first time (I take it every day at night before bed) but I have been 1005 fine after that!

I had terrible acne before taking ortho tri cyclin low. i was covered in it. had severe cystic acne all over my back. this has been a miracle drug for my acne. within a week it was almost all gone.

although this helped me, i wish i could go off it. there is a risk of blood clots. also, i tried to stop taking it for 3 days and just 3 days without it made me have insanely greasy hair (which i never had before....) and a bunch of acne.

tbh, id try this medicine if nothing else has worked. its worth a try... but be aware of the risks.

It is a great product.

I just began taking this birth control. I have 4 pills left and then i will be done with the first month. My acne is now worse than it was before I began taking these. I'm hoping it gets better as I continue to take this birth control.

I'm using OTC to help clear my face and so far it's been doing a great Job, I don't have any weird symptoms so far and I'm on my second pack.

I took Yaz and had great results within the first month. All my active breakouts cleared up and I was left with only a few spots every now and again.

A few months into my treatment I realised that I had a build up of pimples underneath my skin which have been impossible to get rid of. I have been using this product for about 9 months now and my skin is returning to how it used to be. I pay $90.00 for a 3 month packet and I really do not think this product is worth the price.

Also, people suffering from vomitting, ect may simply need to to take a different dosage of it. I experienced none of those symptoms due to Yaz

I'm pretty happy I started taking Ortho :)

Honestly I wish I've never started birth control. This is our bodies that doctors refuse to tell and or explain the details or side effects because they don't care.

I have been on it for about 2.5 weeks now and I am getting terrible abdominal cramps and have been feeling sick to my stomach. My acne seems to have gotten worse as well. I am hoping that after my body gets used to it all those cons go away.
