Ortho Tri-cyclen
Posted: 11-24-03 21:31pm

I have been on ortho tri for about 2 months now and I am having side effects. First I get headaches all the time, second I am always constipated, and 3rd I have completely lost my sex drive. My fiance and I are used to having sex every day and now I can go for a week with out it? Could this be a side effect from the pill? Are wedding is in about a month and I want to be able to have sex on it.

Yes, these could be side effects from your pill. Doctors recommend that you give it there months, but if you are still having headaches, you may want to switch your pill. There is a pill out there that wont decrease your sex drive and will not give you headaches.

I had the major headaches... The first week. Now I dont get any side effects... Except for the fact that my boobs enlarged by 1 cup size, and... I gained in my tummy.. Sad I have had a better sex drive, and its more pleasing...

I have been taking ortho ever since it became available many years, I never had any side effects, everyone reacts differently, if your problem persist I would change it,
