"after my bc pill that i had been taking for about 18 years was discontinued i have been searching for one that i like. my doctor suggested ortho tri-cyclen lo. it&#039;s been almost 1 year and i want to change pills. every month i experience a migraine along with my period that lasts 2-3 days. i have also had nausea, mood swings, bloating and trouble losing weight. recently i have had breakthrough bleeding lasting several days. all of these symtoms are a first for me."
