Re: NWR- Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo
is that the one that is in like a circular/compact thing you turn one click for each day? i was on that.....i was a crazy psyco! i would get really sick after i took it, even with food. then i would burst out crying for no reason, and be laughing the next. i know things react with everyone differently.....but go back to the dr if things start changing!

It made my boobs huge!!!!!!!!!! I went up a cup size in a week!!!!!! You take the white first, I think they are numbered, you start at 1 and go to 28

I was just going to say the same thing...about the numbers, not about making the boobs bigger cause if that was the case I would still be on it

Ive been on it for years, no side effects. Yes, the white ones first. Then light blue, dark blue and the green are the sugar pills.

Re: NWR- Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo
I went on it a month before the wedding, right after my first fitting, where they took the top of my dress in, when I went back for my second fitting they had to let the top of my dress out because my boobs grew so much, my freshly grown babies looked super in my gown, and dh loves them, a lot cheaper than implants

I was on that pill for a few months before I just couldn't stand it anymore. I gained weight and felt sick constantly but don't go by me, my friend takes it and she swears by it.

Me too, but apparently I have trouble with most bc. The thing that stinks is that I was on a great bc for over year but then news all over made me fear the patch. I'm looking for the same affect from another bc but can't!!!

This same thing happened to me when I was on it. I switched several weeks after starting on it. I was getting voilently sick from it no matter when I took it, or if I took it with a meal. I also got a lot fo break thru bleeding and terrible mood swings.

Re: NWR- Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo
the only complaint I had was it gave me acne. So obviously I had them change my pill, but everybody reacts differently to the pill. If you see changes in your body that you are unhappy with then I would call the doctor.

The whites go first and it continues from there down to the green. My side effects included cravings, bigger boobs (yay) but I also gained 10 pds.

I have been on Orth Tri Cyclen Lo for years now and never had any problems. You start with the white ones and green ones are the sugar pills.

How did they find out you had blood clots? This is a HUGE fear of mine.

Re: NWR- Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo
Green ones are sugar pills. I have been on it for 10 years no problems.. Blood clots are more often when you smoke.. I haven't had any issues.. Just spider veins which could come from the pills but also comes with age and the fact I stand all day at work..

Re: NWR- Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo
i just started that one, have been on it for a month, and I've had absolutely no side affects. I think it depends on the person and how they react to it.
