"i started ortho tri cyclen lo 4 months ago. the first month wasn&#039;t that great i got my period twice and had severe cramping. the second month i only got my got my period once during the placebo pills. since i was 14 i started to break out and all the way to high school and college it still continued. even after multiple dermatologist visits, laser treatments, antibiotics nothing ever helped. i decided to give this a try and to be honest my acne has vanished about 100% of it. the first 2 months i still would break out but i noticed month 3 my skin was clearing drastically and by month 4 (in which i am now going into month 5) my skin seems flawless. i will get a breakout every once in a while but overall it has helped !!!"
