I was on Ovcon 35 for the last 3 years of bcp but I never had any different side-effects than other bcp.  I actually had more success with break-through bleeding on Ovcon 35 than previous bcp, but I've never been on Ortho-Tricyclin.

I was on Ovcon 35 and then Ovcon 50 for about 1 year.  I didn't have any weight gain that I wouldn't normally get from any birth control pill.  Ovcon did nothing different than Ortho Tri-Cyclen for me.

Side effects of all B/C pills are weight gain, some more than others and it depends on the person.
