What are the chances of getting side effects from ortho tri-cyclen?

Question

I have been taking it for 4 days and experience no side effects. However, I feel just slightly nauseous, but I might be imagining it because i'm paranoid. Umm, a vast majority of users don't experience side effects, right?

Answer 1

I was on that one years ago and had to stop -- but only because it made me gain a lot of weight!  (and it didn't go away for the 5 years I was on it!)  When I stopped taking it, it all went away!  But I didn't have any other symptoms...I just got on Yaz a few months ago -- it's lower dose than Ortho tri-cyclen and I didn't really see any side effects from it which is nice.  The nausea really could be a side effect (doubt you're imagining it!), but if so, try another birth control pill, my doc told me that no matter the hormone dose, low or high, they're all just as effective, so ask your doc and see what else is out there for you!
