Ortho Tri-cyclen Lo Problems Posted: 08-22-04 21:50pm
My girlfriend is currently on ortho
tri-cyclen lo. She has only been on it
for about 2 or 3 weeks. The problem is,
she just hit her period after about 11
days. It might be those possible side
effects we always hear about, but about 2
days prior to going on her period she
threw up about 2 hours after she took her
pill. Wondering if this may have caused
her to go on her period early? Also,
anyone who experienced anything similar,
it would be great to hear about the what
and why of it...If youre not to shy to
share. Thanks alot in advance.

That could be the reason she's having
breakthrough bleeding. But it's difficult
to say whether or not that's it
specifically because breakthrough bleeding
is rather common in the first month of
taking the pill, anyway. I'd just figure
it as nothing. It could continue until
she gets her period or could just stop
suddenly. It's ahrd to know.

Hey! That exact thing happened to me in
my first month of ortho tri cyclen lo. I
started my period a week early, and it
lasted for 3 weeks!! By the third pack of
pills, everything had evened out, and was
regular. I love being on this pill now.
My period lasts 5 days, and I can time it
to a clock when its going to come! I love
it!!
