"i&#039;ve been using ortho novum 777 for about 6 months now, i switched from the xulane patch that i had been using for 6 years. i thought the side effects from the xulane were just me until i switched. on xulane, i was experiencing heavy flow, migraines, mood swings, and a crazy sex drive, and was really hard for me to lose weight. now i no longer experience any migraines, mood swings and my sex drive seems a lot more normal. i also have only a 2-3 day light period. the first couple of days taking ortho novum 777, i experienced light nausea but after that no more. i am not sure if this pill had any effect on me losing weight since i started exercising and eating healthier at the same time but i&#039;ve lost 27 lbs."
