I was first prescribed Ortho Tri-Cyclen, but that was three years ago for ovarian cysts I had. It did a pretty good job of keeping the cysts at bay, but they still popped up every once in awhile and the bad thing was I had depression, especially around my period. I don’t know is it because Ortho Tri-Cyclen, but now I am considering starting again with pills and I would like to know what next best is.

I would recommend you OVCON 35 as next best Ortho Tri-Cyclen. I had minimal side ffects, just some spotting. No cramps, no depression….no other bas stuff we all have from pills. I hope you are not a smoker, because cigarette smoking increases the risk of serious cardiovascular side effects, especially if you're over 35.
