For Birth Control "Ortho-Cept 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 Ortho-Cept for five months now."

For Birth Control "I've been on Ortho-Cept for a month, and I have not had any side effects other than occasional breast tenderness. It's reduced my acne, which is a plus, and if it's had any effect on my mood, it's positive. I'd definitely recommend it."

For Birth Control "I've been on Ortho-Cept 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."

For Birth Control "I've been on Ortho-Cept for almost 4 months now, and I haven't had any problems. The only side effects are tender breasts, changes in weight, but not bad, only when I get lazy, and occasional dizziness. I think it's pretty good."
