"i have been using tri cyclen lo for almost 2 years, and i have decided to switch to nordette. i like tri cyclen lo for not getting me pregnant but it gave me a few side effects that i didn&#039;t want to live with again. i had a huge decrease in sex drive, i gained 25 lbs in weight, i cried a lot for any situation, i had mood swings and my period lasted 5 -6 days and heavy with pain! i think the only good thing is that it cleared acne very well, my period came exactly on time and no pregnancies. i hope nordette works better for me!"
