Question 2

What are the hormone levels in Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo?

Accepted Answer

Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo is a tri-phasic pill which means the level of progestin in each pill change between Week 1, Week 2, and Week 3 to mimic your natural hormonal cycle while still preventing pregnancy. The pills of the first 3 weeks all contain 0.025 mg of ethinyl estradiol (a form of estrogen), but the pills in Week 1, 2, and 3 have 0.018 mg, 0.215 mg, and 0.250 mg of norgestimate (a form of progesterone), respectively. Week 4 consists of placebo pills to bring about your period — they don't contain any hormones.

Question 3

Does Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo cause weight gain?

Accepted Answer

Weight change is a possible side effect for all combination birth control pills due hormonal changes that lead to water retention. However, this pill is formulated in a tri-phasic way to limit artificial hormone fluctuations and reduce side effects. If you do experience any initial weight gain, it is likely to subside so give your body at least 3 months to adjust before trying something new. You may also want to take note of any other recent lifestyle changes that could lead to weight gain — a change in birth control often goes along with changes in other parts of your life too!
