Babies: 9 - 12 Months

ortho tri cyclin lo

Is anyone taking this?  I love the pill, but this is the first time I have been on the lo dose.  I'm thinking there is something wrong because I have been barely getting my period.  I am not pregnant, because I have tested twice.  Is this happenning to anyone else?

  • It's probably just your body adjusting to being on new BCP. I was on it before TTC and my periods were pretty light and shorter on it as compared to before or other BCPs.

  • i have taken it essentially for 7 years, minus being pregnant and a few random months.  i dont remember having that problem, but is this the first month youve been on it?  if so, maybe your body is just adjusting to the new hormones. 
  • I have the opposite problem. I'm on the "lo" and my periods have been super long...like 10 days!  When I wasn't on bc, they were only about 3 days.  The doc said it would regulate eventually.  Last month, I had a "regular" period lasting about 4 days but this month, I'm back to the 10 day one!  I don't know why this is.  Sorry I'm no help.

  • I am taking it and have been for 4 months.  My first 3 cycles seemed normal, a little on the light side and then my last one, I got nothing!  I also took 2 pregnancy tests.
