Ortho Cyclen -- Monophasic Vs. Triphasic??? Posted: 11-21-03 11:53am


Hi, I was just prescribed ortho cyclen, which is the monophasic version of ortho tri cyclen. Can anyone tell me what the benefits of a monophasic birth control pill over a triphasic birth control pill are? (i have been on ortho tri cyclen before.) also, does ortho cyclen have pretty much the same side effects as ortho tri cyclen because it's the same formula? (with ortho tri, I experienced water retention, breast enlargement, and slight mood swings especially just before my period, and i'm wondering if because ortho cyclen is a constant dosage, i'll always experience these symptoms.) thanks!!!!
