"I have only been on this for a few weeks after switching from Lo Loestrin. So far, no mood changes, which has been great because that was one of my biggest issues! No cramping or abnormal bleeding. So far, I am extremely pleased with Ortho Cyclen."

"My doctor put me on Ortho Cyclen to help with pain outside of my period caused by undiagnosed endometriosis. It has helped so much! I haven't been in the hospital for three months, and the pain is pretty much gone. My cramps are still there but not nearly as bad as they were before. Since being on it, I have noticed weight loss rather than weight gain."
