User Reviews for Ortho-Cept

Ortho-Cept (desogestrel/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: Orthocept is the only birth control I've tried, and so far it has been okay. I haven't noticed any loss of sex drive, mood swings and the only spotting I had was from missing two days. The worst thing that happened to me was my breasts grew at least two cup sizes, and are constantly sore and tender. I have been on Orthocept for five months now.

Ortho-Cept (desogestrel/ ethinyl estradiol) for Birth Control: I've been on OrthoCept for only a week and I have noticed horrible symptoms. I knew that nausea would be common, but I didn't realize that I would not be able to sleep. I also became moodier than I have ever been in my life. I decided to take the pill to help with my mood and my acne. This was the pill for me. My acne has become more horrible than I have ever experienced in my life. I have acne all over my back and chest now, a place where I had never had acne before. I would become very numb also and my headaches seem to have turned into migraines! My breasts are very tender also. I know that it has only been one week, but I cannot risk being even more moody than before.
