Ortho Tricyclen Lo Posted: 09-08-05 21:58pm
Ok so if you have read my other post I was
deciding between ortho and yasmine, my
neice had ortho and said it works the
best, and someone else when they responded
to an earlier post about this. Now I have
3 questions about the new pill I am on.
1-the first color of pills is white, is
that really a sugar pill or is it a normal
birth control pill? Someone told me it
was a sugar pill and that got me
confused.
2-how long until the pill is in my system?
The pill I was taking before this one is
still in my system, so I at least have a
small form of birth control in me already,
but I want to know when it is going to be
affective. {i am on the third day}
-and-
3-today I was getting dizzy and felt
really sick as if I had to throw up, I had
a small headache and couldnt sit or stand
up, or eat or drink. I felt really warm
and really cold at different times, is
this from that pill, even though I have
only been on it for three days?
I am thinking it could be something else
out of my lack of sleep {although this has
never happened before when I lost sleep}
or the fact that I have some sort of bite
on my body. {people are saying its
probably a spider bite or from something I
ate.}
any help is appreciated.

The green ones are sugar pills not the
white ones. It generally takes 7 days to
become effective if taken correctly. The
dizziness and things u are experiencing
could in fact be from the pill, some pills
when u first start them can cause a few
side effects. If they do not go away
then I would talk to your doctor. :d

I just started taking tri cyclin lo, and
found some information on the cosmopolitan
web site that said that you wouldn't get
pregnent if you had been taking the pill
for seven days and had sex..... I was
just wondering if anyone knows if this is
true.

This is true, the pill needs to be taken
for 7 days, then you are fully
protected.
Do consider that while nothing is 100%,
taking the pill correctly is 99% =)

When I first started ortho low I got
really sick on the first day and threw up,
and increasingly became sick at night. I
was on it for 3 months and it made me have
headaches and feel horrible at night.
Since then I have switched, but give it a
few more days and see if you are
adjusting. If not, call your doctor and
discuss it. =).
