When Do Side Effects Start? Ortho-lo
Posted: 06-22-05 03:07am

I've been taking the pill now for 8 days. I was just wondering how long it takes before you start noticing how the pill is going to effect you. (weight gain, acne, nausea,etc.) i'm on orthotricyclen-lo. So far nothing is different at all, but I know it's way too early to tell. Is there a pretty good average of time for the side effects to begin in most people or is this another "it all depends on your personal chemistry" thing? Any info. At all, will help. Thanks!

I like it.... For the most part.
At first it was perfect 1-my face never broke out 2-no cramps 3-light period 4-bigger boobs ;-) 5-no weight gain
however recently I need to be on a higher dosage due to too much breakthrough bleeding and terrible mood swings. Bleh.
It's great if it's the right dosage. :d

Well I was on the pill for 3 years, and about 2 weeks later I notice weight gain I was 160 and went up to 200 in those 3 years the good thing is that I stayed on that weight didnt go up any more :lol: and I know it was the pill because I have been off of it for 4 months , (iam traying to get pregnant) :cry: I weight 184 now. I guess it depends on every women's body....




Good luck :wink:
