anyone on ortho low

My gyno put me on it and took me off reg otho my face has been breaking out a lot, which makes no sense. Usually I do not get pimples and now I could die

Re: anyone on ortho low

any crazy break outs? I waited a while to complain gave it like 4 months but it is still happening

Re: anyone on ortho low

No crazy break outs or anything else negative, except for the fact that Aunt Flo stays for about a week

I'm on it no break out. Ant flow stays for week and I gained some weigh being on it.

Re: anyone on ortho low

My face actually cleared up. I gained weight and that was about it for the negative side effects.

Re: anyone on ortho low

I don't have any breakouts either...maybe that's a side effect from getting off of your old bc pills..but I do notice that my period is longer now...it really *****!

Re: anyone on ortho low

i'm on seasonale. getting to skip 3 months at a time is the greatest ever. AF only stays for about 4 days and i lost a ton (and kept it off) when i first started taking it.
