Question about Ortho Tricyclen LO

Is there any difference? Other than being lower estrogen? I mean, will I get heavier periods now? Gain more weight (UGH NOOOOOO)...more cramping?

Re: Question about Ortho Tricyclen LO

Just finished my first month's supply. I didn't have a heavier period at all. I didn't notice any difference at all....

ETA: I mean, I didn't notice any difference between Ortho Tricyclen LO and regular Ortho Tricyclen.

Re: Question about Ortho Tricyclen LO

I've been on Lo for about 8 months now. I did notice in the beginning that my period was slightly heavier...but now it's seems to be back to what it was before. I am definitely less moody and emotional. As far as losing weight or not bloating, that's the same.
