@19patel99 I was on both for at least 6-8 months. It's possible that our acne isn't hormonal but due to diet and stress?

I used Ortho Tri-Cyclen (Tri-sprintec) for a long time and found that my skin was only clear during the sugar pill week. Then thinking that I needed monophasic, I switched to OrthoCyclen (Sprintec) an...

I have a mild form of PCOS and I've been taking Sprintec/ortho cycles for three months now and am not seeing much results in my acne.... I'm feeling depressed and insecure. Should I supplement with in...

  Birth control pills can take 3-6 months, stick to it! Ive read some finally clear up by month 9   Seriously?  How come it takes so short for othe...

I just finished my third pack of ortho cyclen/sprintec, and my acne hasn't improved much at all. It hasn't gotten worse necessarily, but not a noticeable difference.... Should I stick it ...

Hi, I've been taking calcium D glucarate for a week and already see my face clearing up dramatically! Does anyone know if I need to take calcium d glucarate long-term? Or can I just take it for a mon...

Calcium D Glucarate is used to up the body's glucaric acid, which is supposed to detox the liver, lower bad cholesterol, and lower estrogen. It would be helpful if you know you have too high estrogen...

I never tried calcium for balance so I don't know. Once you come off the bcp, your hormones won't be out of whack anyway....it will probably take some time until they become imbalanced again. If you a...

Week 1: When you period starts. Estrogen and testosterone start at rock-bottom and then steadily rise. Week 2: Estrogen and testosterone rise all week. Week 3: Ovulation Estrogen and testostero...

Hi, so I'm noticing I break out always during the weeks leading up to my period, and then I'm completely clear during and after it. I'm assuming this is because of the high testosterone levels BEFORE...

When you come off the bcp, your body won't freak out right away, so you may not even need those supplements right now. Maybe try to introduce them a month after coming off the bcp, or when you start t...

Bump!   Does this regimen sound fine? Obviously a healthy diet, and then supplementing with FCLO, Zinc, Calcium D Glucarate.

Hi, I plan on quitting BC in the coming weeks, and am wondering what dietary changes or supplements I might introduce to try and minimize the possible side effects! My diet is already pretty clean, p...

Hi, I plan on stopping birth control after this week's placebo pills. And was wondering if anyone could recommend supplements/other methods of possibly trying to make sure that I DON'T miss my period...

Please try switching to Ortho Cyclen, which keeps the hormones stable throughout the month, unlike the Tri version. So many acne sufferers on here have problems with the Tri that clear up when they sw...

Does anyone know if this zinc supplement is any good/does it look legitimate?   If anyone has any other suggestions, that'd be awesome! Thanks so much!

I'm currently on tri-sprintec, and have been noticing that, every month, my skin is clear during the second half of Week 3 and during sugar/placebo pill week.Does this mean that the BC isn't really do...

anyone else? i've only heard good things about estroblock.

Hi, Thinking about trying Estroblock, but not sure if it's safe? I have pretty severe acne on my chin for the most part. Hardly break out RIGHT before my period, but i DO break out for about 2 weeks ...

Currently on doxycycline and BC. But still having minor breakouts (mostly after my period)... and some redness/scarring leftover from old acne. Is there any (preferably chewable) supplement/herbal sup...

Hi, I'm currently taking BC and doxycycline hyclate once a day. Still getting minor break outs on my chin and every once in a while on other parts of my face. Thinking about using benzoyl peroxide OR ...

Hi, I'm thinking about using DHC skincare products, especially their deep cleansing oil. A lot of their products seem pretty natural or at least safe. What do you guys think?

tri previfem

Are there any supplements I can take to control this? Taking BC and doxycycline hyclate but still getting active break outs during this time period is pretty aggravating/disappointing.
