I'm 23 and I just had my first baby 4 months ago. For the past month I have been taking this pill. As far as I can tell, for me, the side-effects are pretty mild. I have had a few headaches and my period came as soon as I took my last dark blue pill. I suppose that's probably right on time. I used to get terrible cramps with my period and those are reduced also. I haven't had one zit since I started taking the pill which is a relief after constant breakouts while I was pregnant. The problem I have found with this pill is one only for those of us with excema. I have, for as long as I can remember, battled with it on my face. Starting about a week ago, the small red spots on my face have grown into red blotches almost covering my face. It's unbearable but still I will continue to give this pill a chance. Afterall, I would rather have a red face than another small crying baby right now.

I used to break out with acne constantly, this completely cured it after 3 months of use.

I was lucky and had absolutely no side effects that are sometimes normal with the pill. (Tri0-Cyclen) After about three months, it started to clear up my acne but before those first three months my skin broke out like crazy. Same thing happened for awhile after I came off the pill. Ultimately there is no way to tell how it's going to affect you but it's a good thing to have in conjunction with the regimine if you don't have any of the other side effects.

I have been taking orth tri cyclen for 2.5 months. It is making my skin about three times worse than it has ever been. I have actually lost weight since I started it. I have a mild stomache ache a few hours after I take my pill. So this month I started taking it at night instead of the morning and now I just wake up with stomache ache as soon as I step out of bed. I would like to try this pill for another month and see if body can get use to it. I don't know if I can deal with my skin looking this bad though it is ver depressing.

I have been on Ortho-Tricyclen for years. I have not noticed ANY difference in my skin. If anything, my skin has gotten worse on my back over the years, so I can't say the birth control pill has had any positive effect on my acne.

I have been taking it for about a month and i have been lightly bleeding for about two weeks. I don't know if it's normal. I'm a virgin and i haven't experienced this...i'm kindof confused. I was regular before the pill...

I never took bc until I turned 30. I am taking Ortho Lo and I started with my period for 30 days! Lo is supposed to be great in preventing "breakthrough" bleeding. Well, I got my period two weeks early! As well, I get headaches all the time now and I've definitely gained weight. What the hell is the point of taking this if it makes you feel like crap?
