Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo and otc

I've been on OTC Lo now for about 2 months (2 weeks into 2nd pack). So far I like it. My face is starting to clear up and my mood swings (former effect of the nuvaring) are starting to go away. My sex drive is coming back (another thing taken by the nuvaring).. and I haven't gained any weight thus far. I have not had a period on it yet (skipping the placebos) but I don't feel like I will have any problems. I highly recommend this one.

I have to say that with my previous experiences with a VARIETY of birth controls, OTC-LO is the best i have been on so far! The first birth control i was put on was Seasonale. Which sent me into days of bleeding and depression. I quickly changed to Femcom only to have extremely painful periods and headaches. After about 4 months of that i was put on Yaz. Which i must say was the WORST ever. Yaz gave me terrible mood swings,bouts of depression, fatigue and again painful periods. After 4 months of that i decided to try Ortho Tri Cylen (the regular not lo)..This started to give me dull aching pains in my arms and joints and the mood swings were terrible. I cried all the time. Ortho Tri Cylen Lo was my last hope for all birth control. Granted because of my mood swings while and a few days before i am on my period i was prescribed Zoloft. OTC Lo has not given me any side effects so far. In the beginning i had a lot of cramps but nothing like i had before. My periods are better and my sex life is unbelievable unlike the others which take your sex drive away, OTC-Lo dosent! If anything it has made me want sex more! My boyfriend is very pleased as am i! I recommend this birth control to any female who is having alot of issues with other birth controls. I am glad i tried it!!! Thanks for reading!

I am 17 and have been on ortho tri-cyclen lo for 2 years now I never really notice until I started having sex I wanted to do it for about the 1st 4 times than after that I never wanted sex, me and my bf had gone without sex for like 2months and every time he wants to do it I say I don't want to he says I never want to than it starts a huge fight, so we basically fight all the time. We have been together 11months yesterday. I don't know what to do I am really thinking its because of the pills, I get WAY moody, and I cry a lot. I'm always cranky and tired. I'm only 17!! I should want to have sex lots of sex not have no sex at all what is wrong with me? could if be the pills ? I have been on them for a long time now but I never really thought that it would be birth control to cause all of this.someone please reply.
