Birth Control
"I&#039;m 23 years old, and started birth control on Ortho Tri Cyclen. I stopped for about a year or so then when I went back to the GYN, she put me on Ocella. I haven&#039;t ever had problems with my period, but it did lighten it up for me quite a bit. I&#039;ve been on it for about 2 years - and it has just recently brought me from a 5 day period to a 3 day period. I was a bit surprised, but I don&#039;t mind at all! I have never detected any differences on and off birth control - except it&#039;s easier to pin point when things will happen throughout the month. I usually get a very mild acne break out right before, as well as some cramps which don&#039;t last very long. I have occasional emotional breakdowns, but they are so rare that I don&#039;t really contribute it to Ocella"
