I was recently (not even two weeks ago) put on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for birth control (not for acne).

I had FINALLY gotten my acne under control, and now I am starting to break out a little bit. It's not really bad yet, but I'm worried about it getting worse... especially since I'm getting married on August 2nd! :/

Is it common to have a purging process when starting this birth control? Or should I switch to a different kind?

I guess I'm just wondering if I should risk staying with this medication.

Thanks!

Yes, purging is common with birth control. Give it at least three months before you decide whether you like the pill or not.
