"i recently switched to zovia from ortho tricyclen. it&#039;s definitely doing what it&#039;s supposed to. the side effects that i&#039;ve experienced since switching is slight weight gain (even though i&#039;m active), b to c cup and some tenderness, nausea, and mood swings (and my boyfriend agrees with me -- this is the worst side effect). what i do like about the zovia is that it cleared my face up and made my periods extremely light and short. i think i like the ortho tricyclen better but only because i didn&#039;t have any side effects with it."
