I have been on ortho tri-cyclen for almost ten years and have experienced very little weight gain or other typical side effects. i do suffer from restless leg syndrome and have noticed a couple light shaded spots in my t-zone on my face. i have read that this is thought to be a side effect from long term use of birth control (in general).

Hi, currently I am on a birth control called Femcon Fe and I dont like the side effect. I want to get off and get on Orthro-Tri Cyclen. I have always heard such great things about it. I just wanted to know which one you were on. Is it just plain old Orthro-Tri Cyclen or is it Orthro-Tri Cyclen LO? Thanks,

I just recently was taken off Orthro Tri Cyclen Lo and put on Orthro Tri Cyclen lo...now I am on Femcon Fe...
I had switched due to spotting between periods. Is there a reason you don't like the Femcon Fe? Just curious
