"i first tried this in highschool and had no problems or side effects. it actually really helped me! i no longer suffered from debilitating morning cramps or heavy periods. 



in college i switched to mirena iud. six months into having the mirena my face broke out with pimples like i could never have imagined. i tried topical treatments, diet changes, and acne clinic facials. nothing helped my acne, until i decided to remove the iud. 



i&#039;m now back on a brand of ortho tri cyclen lo. i&#039;m happy with my birth control again. it&#039;s doing its job and not giving me any problems - no weight gain or weight loss. i&#039;m working on recovering my skin from acne scars, and i&#039;m so thankful for no more active break-outs!"
