"i have been on tri-cyclen lo for nearly three months and i am very pleased with it. this is the first time i have even taken a birth control pill, and i was very weary to begin the pill after reading many horror stories online. i am very glad that i did not let my fears prevent me from taking the pill.



pros:

-no weight gain

-no extreme mood swings

-no decrease in sex drive

-easy to use

-effective

-less premenstrual cramps, shorter periods



cons:

-for the first few days of the pill, i felt extremely nauseous. it was so bad that i considered giving it up, but i am glad i didn&#039;t as the nausea went away after the first week. 

-i now experience headaches before my expected period"
