User Reviews for Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO (28) oral

Well, when I first started on OTC lo it was pretty good for me with the whole period situation. My periods got better but I had extreme discomfort with the boils that were occuring every month on my arms and legs and I got pregnant!Couldn't get enough of the sex.... But now I'm giving it another shot and eventhough I still crave sex all day-my fiance' isn't complaing and it hasn't failed me yet, it's been about 7 months...so we shall see!!!

I have experienced a lower sex drive, to the point where that I do not want to have it at all. Is anyone else having this problem? I have been using some form of Birth control (pill form) for years & had to switch to this because I needed one with a lower dose of hormones & the planned parenthood that I go to stopped carrying the one I had been taking for years. I am really concerned about the lower sex drive, I have never had a problem with that in the past. Anyone with suggestions on a lower dose BC that doesn't effect my libido? thanksRead More Read Less

I was on Ortho-Tri Cyclen Lo for 5 years and just switched to the generic this month due to $. But I loved OTC Lo, it did the job for me and had no problems with breakthrough bleeding or spotting between periods, even when I didn't take it at exactly the same time every day. I loved the pill and will def. go back if I don't like the generic, I recommend it to anyone!

I Have used this pill for 5 yrs and im very happy with it! Iv never had any bad side effects and I always knew the exact day I was getting my period. And even when Id miss pills it always came through for me. I would recommend this pill to anyone thats looking for a good birth control.

It has been great.

While on this medication I had frequent breakthrough bleeding. I also had a horrible allergic reaction constituting hives ALL over my body due to what my doctors decided was a "bad pack." After having the allergic reaction because of some error in the production of the pills, I switched to a different form of HC.

I have been taking OT Lo for about a year and a half now and decided it's not for me anymore. It has made my periods lighter and shorter, but i have still had very painful periods, i have ovarian cysts that keep returning. Right before my period i get extrmely tired, irritable, and moody. I have also been bleeding between periods.

I have been taking OTC-lo for almost a year. The first month I took it, I experienced stabbing pains during my period as well as very heavy bleeding. The second month I saw a difference, and I believe that now my bleeding is probably the same or a little less than it was before I started taking the pill. My cramps have improved, but most months I start bleeding the week before my period is supposed to start. This makes me worried that the birth control isn't as effective as it should be, but I always use a backup. I like being on OTC-lo and I have no problem taking it on time everyday. I'm tempted to try Yaz or another form of birth control, but I fear that I will have to deal with irregular bleeding and pain the first few months after I switch.Read More Read Less

this is really , really good medicition.i'm on TriNessa Oral.aka. the genric version of Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO, and yes I've Tried it and my skin and my body inside and out. It works.

very easy and good with the skin.

Was given this because of low hormones, less side effects, and also to stop ovarian cysts. I've been on it 5 months, noticed a little weight gain, but other than that no other side effects. Effective birth control. Acne control is alright, still get breakouts at that time of the month.

it worked fine till it was time for me to get my cycle then it started like normal but then stoped after 3 days like normal for me then started again extreamly heavy

Worked great for 4 years. Took a 4 month break, got back on it, and got terrible acne, moodiness and weight gain on my butt, breats and hips. I am switching to a lower estrogen bc pill after being back on OTC lo for 4 months

The pills are so tiny that sometimes I wonder if I actually swallowed it or if it got back washed but when I look in my glass nothing is there, so it's really easy to take. I can't even tell that I'm taking it because I have had no side effects

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo for a year, although it regulated my period, I became noticeably more moody, nauseated, and gained weight. My acne was not helped in the least bit and I also dealt with spotting about 2 weeks into the pack every other month. I'm trying something new now, hopefully it works out better for me.
