I'm 29 years old and I have never use birth control. I been having heavy long menstrual periods and very bad cramps so my GYN suggested that I should took birth control so she prescribed Lo/Ovral. I wanted some opinion before taking them. Does it makes you gain weight? Acne? Etc.....
Thanks,
Stacy

I was on the lo/ovral pills and they work great. No pimples or anything. If you have cramps with your period there will be no more. You should really try them.

I just started taking Lo Ovral yesterday, on the first day of my cycle, and was wondering how long it takes to become effective enough to have sex without using back-up contraceptives (condoms). The instructions from the pharmacy say only 7 days, but I need to be sure.

I was on them for about 5-6 years and had no problems whatsoever. I have migraines so this worked for me. No breakthough bleeding or anything. But, I goofed and had depo-provera shot after my ds was born and screwed things up royally. Good luck to you and hope you have as good results as I did. Oh...I went off of the pill to get pregnant. It only took me one month to conceive!
