Nervous About Switching trinessa to ovcon-50 Posted: 07-22-06 17:59pm


After being on trinessa (orthotricyclen's generic) for a little over two years, i'm switching to ovcon-50. I recently had a pregnancy scare and had my period for 3 weeks, also i'm tired of the intense mood swings I get around my period of trinessa. I haven't switched up until now b/c i'm scared that it won't be as effective as the trinessa. I mean, I didn't get pregnant for two years so it had to be doing something right! I'm in a monogamous relationship, and have been for 3 years and am practically engaged. He is also paranoid that switching pill might effect the effectiveness. I decided not to have sex for at least 2 pill cycles. Am I just being extremely paranoid or might a different pill not be as effective? I'm going from a triphasic to a monophasic and from a medium dose to a high dose. Paranoia or could it be true? ... I hate this paranoia!!!!

Well i'd assume that the higher dose alone should be even more effective than a lower dose.
