I have been on ortho tri cyclen for 7 months now, and while my skin has definitely improved, it's still not clear. The first 2 weeks of pills I break out a little(so much better than before) and with the 3rd week and the placebos I'm pretty much clear. Should I switch to ortho cyclen? I'm thinking maybe that would be better for me. Thanks :)

ortho cyclen would probably work better for you since its a monophasic pill which means it delivers the same amount of estrogen and progestin every day.

the ortho tri cyclen is a tri-phasic pill so it has constant or changing estrogen concentrations and varying progestin concentrations throughout the cycle.

What the above poster said. You want a monophasic pill. Good luck!
