birth control
"My doctor placed me on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo back in March. However, my insurance didn't cover it and I was given the generic brand (same dosage). I've been taking the pills for about 5 months and I'm satisfied overall. I am sexually active, but I usually use a condom as well. The pills have made my period very predictable, and I know that I will get my period the same day I take the 3rd green pill. The pills have also made my breasts a bit larger and more tender. My first period on the pill, I had horrific cramps, way worse than any I had ever experienced. Since then, my cramping has slowly subsided and gets less painful every month. My flow is actually heavier than it was when I was off the pill. Tylenol works better than ibuprofen for me."
