I love cyclen...it's my favorite!!I went on tri for 6 months (no rhyme or reason why)...and within that time,I had cramps,my moods would be swinging like Jada and Will on a good weekend...it was ridiculous. I 'm not a moody person, and I would go from happy to crying to snapping in 0-5 seconds. I couldn't take it anymore and went back to cyclen and like magic I felt like myself again. I've never had ANY side effects on cyclen. My period (which I know u wanna know bout )is less than three days and LIGHT...no cramps..My friend is on the patch and swears by it....she loves it!myami said:really? there's a chick I went to college w/who took them and grew hair on her chest and chin, and gained a lot of weight. I guess the hormones affect everyone differently. I guess I'm lucky...no adverse side effects....blessed rather.

TG, you're a trip. I have heard that switching between different ones can affect you. I've never switched. I'm like: If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I did stop for a while. My period went from 3 days to 5 and I was like "Dr. Fields, I need you to call Eckerd for me right quick!!"
titangirl#27 said:I don't know why I did...I guess I figured I was changing up my shampoo that month so why not my birth control...who knows what I was thinking...never again...I don't think the people around me could handle it. My poor friends is all I can say. They could say something innocent and I'd just lose my mind on them~then I'd feel so bad about it, I'd be in tears and then 2 seconds later I'd be happy again..They'd all be looking at me like

CamLee said:Ortho Tri-cyclen too, started taking them freshman year of college. Quit for a minute, had a baby...got back on them in 2002 and haven't missed a beat since. They're the best! Choco you're right, appetite will increase...got me thick with it. But overall, I'll never try another brand.
myami said:See, they really affect each person differently. I never gained any weight from them, nor have I noticed a change in my appetite.
CamLee said:True, Saucy said her experience was "horrible". But not for me, no problems at all. Now the patch, I've heard many horror stories.
myami said:My cousin has the patch and likes it now. But when she first got it, I remember her saying her whole right side would be in pain. No thanx. My only gripe w/the pill is remembering to take the b!tch!! LOL. I've been pretty good lately though...I keep them by my toothbrush!!
