Joliebelle, I'm glad you love Ortho tri-cyclen! Every girl's got to find what works for her. And the Ortho cases are a lot cuter than the case my pills come in.  |
I have to chuckle at this. I was on ortho as my first pill ever. It worked great!
And then I moved to Scotland, and my prescription ran out. I took my pack to the GP and said, "this is what I have now, it works great!". And she said..."what the heck? I've never seen this. You mean Americans STILL use tri-cyclic pills? We haven't prescribed them in YEARS!" They didn't want to switch to something that would make me nuts, so she looked through her desk reference, and got nothing. So she gave me a script for single cycle pills...which worked even better than the tricyclen (skin, shorter lighter periods). And then I decided I couldn't be arsed with remembering and so I opted for the IUD.
Man, you guys know a lot about my uterus now. All in the name of open dialog!
