I've been on ortho tri-cyclen lo for the past few years with basically no side effects and have been really happy with it. Just lately, I started getting my period (or spotting) about a week early, before I had taken the last week of pills. This has happened for the last 2 months. I went to the doc and they said it was normal even after I have been taking it so long. The doc said it was probably because the lo was too low and not carrying me through to the end of the pill pack. She switched me to Yasmin, which I've only been on for 3 days now, but decided to research it some. This website lists 4,000 replies about really negative side effects they have experienced in a short time. I am definitely getting off Yaz.....

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.

I tried this one because my GYN said it would be better for my mood swings than higher dose pills. NOT. It made me so moody I think it pretty much ended my relationship with my boyfriend. I have no sex drive, gained a few pounds, and it even made me break out! I am going off it. I think id rather be pregnant.
