Hey everybody... I’ve been on orthocyclen for about a month now. Anybody used it before??? Do you think can I gain weight from the pills??? Also sometimes, i feel depressed, but other times i don’t – is this effect of the pills??? Well what I really want to know is any sideeffects you girls have had. Of course, good side effects too..

Well, I gained 20lbs on ortho cyclen. And what is even worse, it took me ages to get the weight off! Afterwards I went off the pill and gained 15 back !!! So, you may have the same trouble, but that was my case only – maybe it will not affect you…

I started taking ortho cyclen 5 months ago. I experisnced depression I n first two months For example I would just cry outta the blue, and think bad thoughts. It was horrible but someone told me that could be due to pills and to wait one more month. So I did, and now I'm not nearly as depressed. Regarding the weight I can tell you I haven't gained it from the pill, and my face has cleared up soooo much!! It's really amazing!! I believe it is good – at least it was quite good for me but remember that everyone is different and that everyone will have unique experience with it! Hope this helps!! Best whishes!!

I'm starting my second pack this Monday, and I’m really hoping to see some skin-clearing effects soon! How long were you on OTC before you noticed your skin had improved? I'd be soooo happy if my skin improved, I wouldn't even mind gaining a few pounds !!! I just can’t wait for it to happen!!!!

Well, I don’t know for others but I have gained some weight on the pill and it's frustrating. But on the bright side my face has cleared up and it does take a couple months for that to happen – so be patient and result will come.
