"had not been on birth control for many years and decided that i should go back on as my husband and i were not planning to have kids.  i had previously been on loestrin years before for painful periods and heavy bleeding, but after taking that for a few years those side effects diminished and i stopped taking birth control.  with ortho-cept my periods immediately started getting extremely painful again, maybe even worse than in the past.  also, i developed symptoms of acid reflux which i have never had before (it is a gross feeling).  have always had decent sized breasts but with ortho-cept i gained probably about 15 pounds and became a triple d.  also was nauseous all the time.  anxious to switch back to loestrin!!"
