"i&#039;ve been on this bc for about 3 months now. this is the 3rd prescribed type of pill i&#039;ve been on. weight gain was an issue when i first started w/ ortho tri-cyclen lo, but my weight has been pretty constant now. my acne has cleared up significantly, which is nice! my sex drive is still the same, unless i&#039;m the water pill week. my periods have been pretty brief compared to my original 7 day cycles, then becoming 2 weeks (yes, weeks!) on the 2nd bc i was on for months, they are very predictable and my calendar is always accurate so i am well prepared, but i still get severe cramps the first 2 days, which has always been a constant problem for me, on and off all the bc&#039;s i&#039;ve been on. i am still a virgin, only 17, and not sure why this is??"
