Recently I started Ortho Tri Cyclen and have gained almost 15 pounds in 3 weeks on them, i'm going to talk to the doctor within the week.......good luck on your quest because i know something went wrong with mine somewhere.

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclen, and it was horrible on my body, I felt like I was going through menapause, even tho I am so young (21) I wouldn't know what that was like anyway... Point of the story, I got hot flashes, gained weight, got horrible headaches, and was in a lot of pain.

My doctor switched me to Yasmin, and I love it. I went up a whole bra size on it... Now I know this is not what your looking for, but I do think you can use it while you breast feed, but I could be mistaken... look into it tho, cause I have really liked it.

I still don't let anyone cum in me tho, I use condoms on top, just in case there is that slight chance that I didn't take the pill right... or some other horrible possibility. For me right now, No Husband equals You Better Not have a Kid... my family would disown me.

~Good Luck!~

Just a reminder to those who are like me and need it...

Thanks again..........dr. gave me Yasmin. I decided to just wait for a bit before taking any pills...

Hugs to you all.

I have been on Ortho Cyclen for about 3 years now. I did gain about 5-10 pounds the first couple of months I used it, but after that I had no more weight gain. I think it is wonderful - it almost completely cleared up my acne! And before I was on the pill, the first day of my period was soooo rough (fever, puking, all that good stuff), but now it's like any other day in the month. Also, before the pill, I had horrible terrible moodswings - not anymore, thank god! I call them my miracle pills
