"after reading horror stories about birth control online, i was very nervous to start taking the pill. i decided to try ortho tri cyclen lo, and it was the best decision i could have made. i never gained a single pound, my mild acne disappeared and my periods became regular, light and short. i should also add that i have unprotected sex regularly and have never had a pregnancy scare. this pill worked wonderfully for me and i honestly believe that its the best birth control out there.

con: i only experienced one side effect from this birth control pill: every month, after taking the first pill of the pack, i experience intense nausea. this side effect does go away after time."
