Orthotrycyclen Lo: Is It Right For Me? Posted: 06-26-05 15:44pm
I have been taking orthotrycyclen lo for
about 8 months and it was working really
well. However, a few months ago I
started my period early and it lasted for
10 days. The next month everything was
fine, but a month later it happened again.
I have also experienced a heart
fluttering sensation in my chest and I
don't know if it's due to the pill or not.
If anyone has experienced similar
problems or has some ideas about what
might be going on, let me know please.
Thanks!

I am on the same type of birth control
too. I have always had very regular
periods and just this month I had my
period a week early and so far, it's going
on 10 days. I just saw a doctor today,
she told me to wait a few more cycles and
if it is still off, I need to contact her
and she will put me on regular
orthotricylen. She said the low estrogen
is the cause.
Hope this helps.

I've been on it for a year and 4 months
now and I haven't had that problem, but
thanks for the heads up! On average I
start on a tuesday, but sometimes I start
on a sunday. Sometimes it lasts for only
2 days and sometimes 5 and it's even
lingered 2 days into the next pack on
occasion. Hmm... So far it's not an
issue, but I will definately stay aware of
a possible early start (and prepared!!).
