i get to go to my fave dr Tuesday and i need to switch my BC. it just is not working anymore or i should say my body is used to it now. i've been on Ortho-Tri Cyclin for 4 years now and am finally getting cramps, my infamous acne back, etc, etc.
i used to be on Ortho-Tri Lo BUT insurance stopped covering it.
Please rec something for me so i can possibly suggest to the doc.
thanks!

I like Yasmin. I switched once before (to Murcette) and it was AWFUL! I went back to Yasmin after 6 months.

Re: birth control recs?
First I would find out what is covered by your insurance...I would bring the list to the doctor and tell him to choose it out of the most affordable category for you.

i have been on the Orho Evra patch for almost 6 years. i am currently in the process of switching to Ortho-Tri Cyclin Lo.
i love the patch however, i suffer from sever migraine headaches so that's why i am changing to a lo dosage. if it wasn't for my headaches i would stay.

loestrin 24! i have not gotten aunt flow for like 3 years. (my doctor said this is normal) which could be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it i guess. I don't mind at all though however lol

Be wary of Seasonique. I was on Ortho Lo but switched to Seasonique because I liked the idea of getting my period only every 3 months. However, I've had lots of spotting on it, and i'm in my 10th month already. Definitely going to switch to something else soon.

same thing happened to me when i switched to loestrin but it freaked me out so much that i hadn't gotten aunt flo in 8 months that i switched. i'm on yaz now, i get it for two days.
