greeneyes, good luck to you, i would think that theres a reason for there being so many different types of BC pills out there. you said you only have tried ortho, others have got to be different...i cant believe the doctor would make an assumption like that.
i went on ortho lo to take care of my cramps, lighten and shorted my period, being that i am anemic, and so i just be safe and not get pregnant. I noticed that about 5 -7 days into taking the pill my breasts started to hurt as if i was going to get my period, not major pain for me so i was ok with it, but now almost 3 weeks into it they still hurt...i dont know if thats normal or not, but from what ive heard, im assuming it is. Also like you said about the breaking out, i normally dont break out a lot only usually before my period but since being on the pill i have broken out more than normal...i thought it was supposed to help with that. Wow, sorry if this doesn't make sense, its a bit late and im just rambling
