"hey ladies. i was using orthotricyclin for about 2 or 3 years. i absolutely loved it.  before birth control my periods used to be really heavy and sometimes i&#039;d go 2 or 3 months with out one (which is super scary if you&#039;re sexually active). on tricyclin my period started on the morning after i took the 3rd green pill every month. it was perfect. the new pharmacy i started going to didn&#039;t carry tricyclin, only trinessa. i was hesitant since my body was already used to the other birth control so i took about a year off. just recently i started trinessa. on the first month, my period was normal. my depression and anxiety are much better than when i wasn&#039;t using bc. on my second month now and everything is great! can&#039;t tell a difference from orthotricyclin!"
