I've been on ortho tri-cyclen lo for 4.5 years, and I haven't had any negative side effects. I can't blame any weight gain on the pill, because over that time frame I've been able to lose weight by exercising and controlling my diet When I slack off from exercise or eating healthy, I gain weight--sounds pretty normal to me. Also, I used to have problems with cystic acne, a few a month but enough to make me self-conscious and now (at 28 years old) my skin is what I consider perfect. I don't have to wear make-up to cover anything up. I also I started Proactiv at the same time though, so I'm not sure which one is contributing more to the skin clearing up. I was thinking about switching to Loestrin 24 FE, but I guess if it's not broken....

Just wanted to let you know that I've been taking Loestrin Fe for about a year. Needless to say its been a horrible year. I am moody, depressed, anxious, gained 15 lbs, hair loss/breakage, acne, tired all the time, hungry all the time, my skin looks awful, I feel awful all the time. After finding this web site & reading about other peoples side effects I FINALLY called my Dr. and asked to go back on Ortho Tri. I felt, looked & acted so much better when taking the Ortho.
