Ortho Tricyclen Lo

I was just wondering what your ladies oppinions are on it. I have been taking it for almost a year and a half and so far all has been good but my last few periods have been off and I have no clue why. AF is usually extremly regular. Opinions on this type of BC pill and experiences would be appreciated! Thanks ladies  


**Note im not majorly concerned about it or anything lol Just curious cuz its a bit annoying. The first time it was late I was a little worried I was pregnant lol

I was on this pill both times I got pregnant, and there were numerous months that my period was a surprise, definitely didnt keep me regularly on schedule! I took my pill everyday at the same time, never missed a pill, I took it when I gave my daughter her medicine, and I was religious!

I had the same problem. Plus I got headaches ALOT while taking it. Most of the birth control pills gives me headaches and I've tried several. I went four years w/out taking anything and didn't get prego until we tried for two months! It worked out! lol But I will diffentley go on something after the baby is born! I don't want to get pregnant again right away!!

Quoting carsonlia:“ I was on this pill both times I got pregnant, and there were numerous months that my period was a surprise, ... [snip!] ... my pill everyday at the same time, never missed a pill, I took it when I gave my daughter her medicine, and I was religious!”

Uh oh   lol I personally think the whole 98 or 99 percent effective when taken correctly is a load of crap. Ive heard a few other women say they've gotten pregnant on this pill while taking it regularly. (Part of the reason for this post lol) It's kinda sad but even though i take it perfectly, lately I still wait for my period every month   Hmmmm, any suggestions on a more reliable pill?

thats what got me pregnant. and i was using condoms  always took it on time too... my doctor said cuz it was a low dose, all the people that are "really fertile" can get preggo.

my OB failed to tell me that.
