Do BC pills come in different strengths??
Someone asked me this and I didnt know the answer... I was curious.
Search in your own words. Describe what you need or ask a wedding planning question.

yes they do. Some people can't have too much estrogen while others need more.
TY!
that's so funny you ask - i just got back from my gyn, and they switched me to a new ortho tri cyclen. there is a new low dose estrogen ortho tri cyclen on the market, so they switched me to it!
Yes they do. I was put on them for Ovarian cysts and the pill I was on was too weak. I continued to get them. They changed the pill and I got my evil friend for two months straight. Not great for the love life. It certainly was BC though.
Yep. Some have more testosterone-type hormones in them, some have different doses of estrogen.
Is it possible that they can be too weak and you get prego on it?
It is possible to get prego on bc - especially if you skip pills...but for the most part, I believe all bc pills are like 98.something% effective.
The different levels of hormones play a role in the side effects that you have. All of them are equally effective if taken correctly.
TY
I've been on Orth-tricyclen for 6 years and they just switch me to Ortho- lo. I actually feel better on this, I haven't been as moody
