i'm moving away from ortho and onto seasonale.

i was on ortho tri cyclen to begin with, switched to ortho tri cyclen lo, and i decided i'm done with having a period 12 times a year. i'm going for 4. well, after the first year, i'll be going for every 4. although i'm hoping my body takes to this drug nicely.

you'll have to let us know how you like it. i'm intreged by this pill.
good luck with it

So my doctor just put me on Ortho Lo to regulate me and help with my pain. This will be my first time on the pill. I'm supposed to start the sunday after my cycle begins - will this prolong my period? Anyone know?

The pill will probably cut your period short if you start taking it while you have your period. In general, the pill often makes your period shorter and lighter.
