"I have been on this birth control for a few years now. I switched from Ortho TriCyclen. They both seem about the same. I haven&#039;t gotten pregant yet. I don&#039;t really break out. I got fat when I started working at Starbucks, so the pill didn&#039;t have much to do with that. The one thing I don&#039;t like, is I get a thick clear discharge. It&#039;s SO thick! It doesn&#039;t soak into my panties, I can literally peel it off. It&#039;s like jello. It doesn&#039;t smell."
