"I took Ortho Tri-Cyclen for birth control for 2 years with no issues. After 2 weeks, my migraine headaches worsened, a nervous/ill feeling hit me, and my heart was always pounding. I stopped taking it immediately (I'm married and we are stable enough to have a baby) and have since decided to start trying to have a baby. I recommend lots of caution with this one (especially if you take something for ADHD)."

"Before I got on the pill, my cramps used to be horrible. I started the pill a year ago and haven't had any cramps since. I love it and don't plan on getting off until I'm ready to have kids."

"I took this for 10 yrs. Began experiencing severe leg cramping and depression. During a routine exam, found a lump in my breast at 31. Had a hysterectomy at 40 due to adenomyosis and eventually had a bilateral mastectomy at 51 after developing breast cancer."
