I also had problems with ortho tricyclen, so I switched to Yasmin. I have been on it for over a year and have had no side effects, no weight gain or anything. Plus, my periods last 3-5 days and are extremely light. If you are still irregular after being on it for 7 months I would definitely talk to your doctor about switching. Most doctors recommend staying on the pill three months before switching (that's how long it takes to become regular).
