Lo-overal
Posted: 01-18-07 16:51pm

Alright ladies! Give me the break down! :d

what is this drug? How does it work? Have you been satisfied with it, if you've ever been on it? How does it compare to others.

I just got switched from estrostep to zovia (damn that zovia crap! I got so sick on it! Smile) to lo-overal. Is it anything like estrostep, where it starts out with a low dose and gets progressively higher? Or is it just a constant low dose? I couldn't stand the constant 35 mcg in zovia... It made me so sick. Sad anyways, do you think lo-overal will be helpful?

Thanks so much!

Lo/ovral is a constant low dose. Some women do better on mono phasic pills(all one dose), and some women do better on triphasic pills.

Why did you switch if you liekd estrostep so much?

Accursed insurance. *sniffles* thanks for the help; I hope this one won't make me sick like the last one they tried to put me on.

Zovia also made me very sick...nausea, vomiting, headaches, dizziness, breakthrough bleeding 2 weeks before I was due to start my period. BTB still hasn't stopped, my dr called in a prescription for lo-overal which I will begin after I finish this pack of zovia. Hopefully there won't be as many side effects.

I'm on triphasic pills (orthotricyclen-lo) and they work really well for me.
