I have been on ortho tricyclen for 15 years!!! Little cramps if any. I always know when my period is coming and only have 2 days of heavy flow then the rest are lite!
I was on Allesse, it was horrible for my body type so I switched to loestrin which still gives me symptoms, just not as bad
I was on yasmine then had to be switch to Aviane.... which I think failed...!!
Necon is horrible! I would never recommend this to anybody. Not even my worst enemy in my opinion. Just thought I would get the word out there. :)
