"i&#039;ve been ortho cyclen for a little over 2 months and i&#039;m already getting off of it. my husband and i are newlyweds, so i started taking the pill beforehand so that it would be effective by the time we were married. i was terribly nauseous for the first week or two. like, unbelievably nauseous. i felt like i couldn&#039;t even stand up through some of it. eventually, the nauseousness passed and if it did happen, it wasn&#039;t as horrible or frequent. i did notice immediate acne as well (i almost never break out and i had big cyst-ish looking acne on my chin, which was lame with my upcoming wedding).
i had no weight gain, but i did lose my sex drive. when i say that, i mean i really didn&#039;t feel the same at all. (1/2)"
