Has anyone been on Ortho Cycling birth control? If so has anyone had any problems on it or side effects? Weight gain, boob size anything?
Please & thank you

Oh & I had  a  large "chocolate cyst" hemriding and leaking blood and bad toxins into my body poisoning me. The cyst was covering my ovary and really large that's why they had to do partial hysterectomy. & endometriosis cuz it was an endometriosis type cyst. But he didn't no it was so bad until he got in there, so now I have to do a lot of treatment to stop the growing and from it getting so bad before I have to have a complete hysterectomy.

I am 21 and everything you just wrote is basically what I'm going thru. I'm recovering from a partial hysterectomy. & I had severe endometriosis it's spreading & growing so fast and was so bad I have to get shots once a month that are 600$ per shot. Plus put me on birth control to help slow the growing of endometriosis. He wants me to stop having periods for awhile too till it's under control. My husband and I were trying for a few years and nothing so now with going they this I'm afraid I can't get pregnant. Now my chances are more slim since I only have half of everything it was hard enough with two! Just a lot on my mind and it's all new to me. It's very scary, especially because I am young and I want a family more than anything. I lost a baby years ago at 7-8 months pregnant and no luck since. Now I'm scared I can't at all. My husband and I have been thru so much together including losing our baby and since then we want what we lost ur luck isn't on our side it seems like. I was on BC when I was younger then stopped. Now he put me on it for a ton of reason. A lot to go thru! Lol but trying my best.

I completely understand :) and sorry you're having to go through so much.  I was only on birth control the 2nd time around because i needed to have a laparoscopy/hysteroscopy(for endometriosis and a polyp in the middle of my uterus) and my insurance wouldn't cover it at the time because of the whole "pre existing" condition thing.  So I was on Apri for a year and the day of my surgery I quit taking it :).  I didn't want to be on birth control that 2nd time around because I wanted to have a child..but couldn't because of everything that was wrong and all the pain I was having.  I hate taking medicine period!

Yeah having weird things happens especially after taking medicine is kinda scary, especially chest pains :S.  I was only 21 at the time and I was thinking.."wow a little young to be having a heart attack" :|.    

I hope things work out for you though.  Maybe you'll get more imputs also about that certain birth control. :)  Good luck hun!!

Oh & I was on birth control years ago and I haven't been on it for 5-6 years. I don't want to be on it at all but at this point I have too for part of my treatment. This kind is new to me. I have been on many before. Everything for me is so messed up and I'm having all kinds of weird things happening to me. I think most of its just all the medication buying just want to know what everyone thinks about this birth control or if they have certain side effects :)

Thank you so much for that info. Actually the other day randomly that happened to me! I almost went to the hospital because chest pain and I couldn't breath. It was so scary but I didnt no I'f it was because of those. I just had surgery and also bad asthma so I just wasn't sure. Makes me wonder now. It only happened  that one time but I will deff keep a close eye on that. I sorta thought I was getting an penumonia or something since surgery can cause that plus my athma. I was just put on this birth control and I'm still in my first month of it. It's not the try cycling tho I think it's just ortho cyclen. Hard to pin point everything with so much medication and things going on. Thank you again.

Hi there,

I was on Ortho Tri Cyclin when I first got married and it gave me really really bad chest pains. I went to the ER one night for fear of having a heart attack. After stopping the pills I felt fine though :).  They said that particular pill was probably to strong for me.  It scared me so bad I never tried birth control again for a long time!  Then years later my dr. put me on Apri and it was wonderful. :)  They say you have to find the right one for you and I believe that.  I hope this helps! :)
