"ortho-cyclen has worked incredibly well for me. it was the first pill i tried and i took it for about a year. when my prescription ran out i went to planned parenthood and was recommended aubra, which did not work out for me, i had constant spotting, it significantly decreased my libido, and made me gain about 10 lbs. i have since switched back ortho-cyclen and have had no noticeable side effects other than my breasts growing by about a cup size."
