"i was put on ortho tri-cyclen because i have been struggling with bad acne for a few years and my dermatologist asked if my periods are regular and they are not because they come a few days late every time so she told me in order to fix your acne i need for your hormones to be normal and all. i was put on this medication and this medication worked really, really well. my oily skin was gone and my acne was also completely gone. i couldn&#039;t believe it. but one month into taking this pill i noticed my hair thinning i thought it was stress. at the end of the 3rd month of taking this pill i realized it wasn&#039;t stress its the side effect of the pill. so i stopped taking this pill."
