I'm on OrthoTriCyclen Lo, and I like it. Before that I was on the regular OrthoTriCyclen, but it seems that they're doing away with that one. I've never had any problems with the pill...except occasionally forgetting and having to swallow two pills the next day. I don't use any back up since I'm married, and a) I've been on the pill for so many years that it's way too into my system to have an accident, and b) we want kids someday so no big deal if there is an accident( although no accidents too soon, please
)
I am curious about the patch though. Does it irritate your skin were you have it on? I thought that was a possible side effect and my skin is sometimes sensitive.
