| Pros | lighter, shorter periods, clearer skin but acne not completely gone, no weight issues, period always predictable |
|---|---|
| Cons | none really. though im a little jealous of the girls who got bigger boobs because I definitely didnt! |
| Bottom line | This review is for the low dose. I was on it for about 2 years and I had no problems with it at all. I loved it! I had horrible acne before, it was so embarrassing. I still break out once in a while but it isn't bad and only lasts a few days. I just switched to the regular ortho tricyclen in hopes that it would be better for my skin. A friend of mine is also on the low dose one and she loves it as well. I would definitely recommend it. |

| Pros | Effective birth control, hasnt decreased sex drive or made me crazy like it has other people. |
|---|---|
| Cons | I'm a petite girl and gained 5 lbs. in 10 days! That's 5% of my body weight! Everyday I go to the gym and everyday I have gained weight. I feel like a fat slob. I have a fast metabolism, but its not helping. Also, my joints are starting to ache. |
| Bottom line | Everyones body reacts differently. Try it and see how yours reacts. I will only allow myself to gain 3 more pounds maximum before trying something else. I guess its better than being pregnant. I've been there and done that. |

| Pros | Severity of cramps reduced, no babies, bigger boobs |
|---|---|
| Cons | Weight gain, mood swings, emotional |
| Bottom line | I have been on this pill for over a year now. I have gained weight but I used to throw up when i had my period and now I just feel a little cramping. Ive become way more emotional and cranky sometimes. However, its kept me from getting pregnant so it has to be working!! |

| Pros | SHORTER PERIODS |
|---|---|
| Cons | WEIGHT GAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| Bottom line | I HAVE BEEN USING THIS FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW, AND THE ONE REASON I DID NOT WANT TO START TAKING BC IS BECAUSE OF WEIGHT GAIN, WELL WHAT DO YOU KNOW. THIS IS THE BIGGEST THING THAT IM STRUGGLING WITH NOW.....I WATCH MY SODIUM INTAKE AND WORK OUT. I CAN'T STAND THIS. I ALSO HAVE AN INCREASED APPETITE, WHICH DOESN'T HELP ANYTHING...I JUST DONT TRUST BC.. |

| Pros | regular period |
|---|---|
| Cons | BAD acne |
| Bottom line | I have only taken it for a month, but i am going to make a change because i have never had acne this bad in my life. I dont think it would be worth it for me to stay on it for a few monthes (to see if my body regulates) because i dont want scaring. |

| Pros | I guess not getting pregnant... |

| Cons | ACNE!!!! Nausia |
| Bottom line | I chose this pill to help my skin. It has been 2.5 months and my skin is the biggest nightmare I've ever seen. Postules, cysts, bumbs, redness EVERYWHERE! I thought it was bad before but this is torture. I know they say wait 3-4 months but come on! |
