1 month ago I switched from Cyclessa to
Ortho lo because of the acne breakouts
that I was getting and so far I love it.
My face is definetly less inflamed, but my
question is: Will I notice even more of a
change in a good way after I'm on it
longer? I am on the first week in my
second pack. I heard a lot of bad things
about Cyclessa and I hope I made the right
decision. I have had no side effects from
switching I just hope my skin clears up
because I still have a lot of underlying
congestion. Any comments would be helpful.
How long does it take for all of the
Cyclessa hormones to completely flush
before I just have all Ortho lo ones???
Thanks!

I would give it a month, once full cycle
of ortho-lo. I personally LOVED ortho-lo!
It cleared up my face too I was actually
going to go onto accutaine before I got on
ortho, and had to get on a form of bcp
because on accutaine, you absolutely
positively can't get pregnant. So I had to
be on the bcp's for a month and then I
could start accutaine... but that medicine
terrifies me lol. And so I cleaned my face
a lot and took the bcp's and my face
cleared up!! I didn't have to go on
accutaine!

I do have one question for you if you
could please?! On my first pack I noticed
my face clear up almost immediatley for
the first three weeks, then on the sugar
pills I started to get inflamed and had
like 3 or 4 big ones on my cheeks. Will
that ever go away once I am used to them??
I am allergic to all dairy so I have tried
to eliminate that from my diet, but
otherwise I am very strict with it, just
wondering about the blemishes though.
Thanks

Yeah, I still break out
during my period... even after 2 years on
the pills. Using extra-strength
face-cleaners and peels during the placebo
week and leading up to it may help reduce
the breakouts.
