"i was on the ortho tori cyclin lo all of my high school years. never had acne, 3 day periods, no cramps, no bloating, and actually believed it was impossible to gain weight on it. coming to college the price of $110 was too much so i went to the generic. 2 months in i&#039;ve gained 20 pounds, horrible cramps, and have horrible acne. switching birth controls after this pack."
