"i am a serious worry wort when it comes to periods and pregnancy, so last year i asked my doctor for a birth control pill that would give me regular periods. she recommended ortho tri cyclen lo, and i could not be happier. i have a period every 28 days on the dot, and it&#039;s only heavy for a few days, with two days of light bleeding that i hardly notice with a liner.

i&#039;ve been on it for a year now and have had zero side effects. no change in appetite, no change in acne - actually, some of my cystic acne has cleared up! no mood swings, and my cramps are much better; i used to get cramps so bad i&#039;d vomit from the pain, but now i only have slight discomfort for a few hours. and best of all: no pregnancy! if you want a combined oral contraceptive pill, this is the best!"
