i hated ortho tri cyclen, but most people love it. i'm on lo-ovral, and i like it a lot.
I am not on anything now. But I was on Ortho-Tri-Cyclen and Ortho-Tri-Cyclen low. I didn't have any bad side effects with them and my skin looked great. I gained a lot of weight with Alesse last year and then switched to Yasmine (which was good). If you have gained a lot of weight over a short period of time, definitely talk to your gyn.

seasonale- over a year already - so far so good
I never get my period anymore
I'm on ortho tri cyclen and no side effects, but i've been on it a long time. As soon as I get insurance i'm going to see about going on seasonale.
i agree, i was on ortho tricyclin low and i felt very bloated, and the scale would show about a five pound weight gain, but it was all in my belly and thighs... i tried one final time to take it and really cut back on what i was eating but i still felt bloated... so i finally gave up :(
I just switched from ortho-tri to ortho-lo. Yeah I gained some weight when I went on the pill, but the pros outweigh the cons (IMO).
I am on Ovcon...which I think sounds like some kind of roach killer. I had asked my doc about Seasonale but he said you can get the same effect from whatever pill you are on. So I have been skipping the placebo pills and just choosing to get my period every few months.
orthotricylen lo here.....love it

orthotricyclene for 4 years. i didn't experience weight gain (lucky me) and i don't get the cramps i used to get. but i think it makes me moody at times during my cycle and i think it lowers my sex drive :( i am thinking about switching pills. ~lacey
I was on orthotricyclene lo-I hated it, horrible mood swings, and ravenous appetite-I'm on Apri now, and I love it, although I'm really interested in the seasonale...it would be awesome to only have it every couple of months

but it will cost you more and some insurance companies wont let you get that many packs
Seasonale is set up so easy- you get all the packs together in one case
it's so easy- I used to hate having to go the drug store all the time
I'm on Ovcon and have not had any problems.
