| Pros: | not pregnant, regular light periods |
| Cons: | Have to take it every night |
| Bottom Line: | I'm pretty good about remembering to take the pill and otherwise I've had no adverse reaction to it. In the beginning I would get nausea after taking it but that wore off by the end of the first month. I've been on it for 2 years now, and nothing else seems better suited for me |

| Pros: | No period pimples, bigger boobs, no pregnancy |
| Cons: | After two years of taking it still experiences break through bleeding, nausea, weight gain |
| Bottom Line: | The first year on the pill was amazing I saw results in everything! But, all of a sudden, the second year on it towards teh end of the second year I was getting erally moody, crying a lot, getting more bloated than usual, getting mroe nauseous than usual. A little odd after two years? Your body is supposed to regulate but I guess mine did the opposite. They just switched me to the Lo version and I am pretty skeptical. |

| Pros: | Cleared up acne, great as birth control, regulated period |
| Cons: | Expensive every month, hard to remember to take |
| Bottom Line: | I was on the pill for almost a year before I was forced to go off for a couple days. Now my period is a week late, and I don't think I'm pregnant...hoping it's just my system getting back to normal. LOVED being on the pill, it was GREAT at completely clearing up skin, regulating periods, and as birth control. It was hard to remember to take and did cause some weight gain, (though I've just recently gained more weight from being off it) Intend to go back on, even if I wasn't using as BC because its so great to use for clearing skin/regulating periods. |

| Pros: | while on the pill no cramps and no breakouts and more importantly no baby |
| Cons: | while on the pill severe mood swings |
| Bottom Line: | I started taking the pill about 3 years ago right before I got married. It worked fine, no breakouts, no cramps and shorter predictable periods. About 10 months ago I decided to stop taking it because the horrible mood swings. Since I have been off of it, I have had the worst cramps every month and my skin is progressivly getting worse each month. If I could ever tell anyone don't even start taking this, try natural family planning. None of this crap is good for you. |

| Pros: | Prevents pregnancy, regular periods |
| Cons: | I haven't found any yet |
| Bottom Line: | I just started my 4th month today. When I started it my skin seemed to clear up and this past week has been just hell. I don't think it will help out with my acne too much (NOTHING has...and I've tried just about EVERYTHING!) but my period finally got regular with the pills and started exactly when it should have. I tried some other pills in the past and I didn't like how they made me feel, but I've had absolutely no side effects with Ortho Lo. I just hope one day my skin will be clear of acne and I will finally have the confidence of not wearing any makeup :( It's so embarassing. |
