Birth Control Pill (meant to put on NWR sorry)

I am going back on the pill next cycle around, and I am trying something new.

Has anyone used Ortho-tri-cyclen LO ?
It is supposed to be a lower dose, but still strong enough, and is said to have lower incidense of typical side-effects, ie, weight gain and acne, etc.

Anyone?

I meant to put this on NWR.... Sorry
(of course you can comment if you want )

Im on ortho-Tri-cyclen.
I havent had any problems. I have been on it for 2 years. At first I used to get headaches, but not anymore

I agree 'why mess with a good thing'
I guess I am a little concerned that I am going to be a guinea pig being that this is a new pill...

I just switched to Ortho tri Cyclen Lo from regular Ortho tri cyclen. I didn't notice any difference except that I had cramps the first 2 days which I hadn't really had on the other.
I had no idea it was new! I had asked the doctor if I could take something with a lower dose of estrogen and he said sure and gave me that. I'm switching dr's anyway -- he has NO bedside manner!
