good luck! Hi, I went on accutane a month ago, since I had started Ortho Tri-Cyclen LO about 5 weeks before that and it made my skin break out horribly. it is the first birth control pill i've ever taken, and the main reason i took it is because my acne was suddenly starting to get out of control.
I took ortho tri-cyclen for years. No i wasn't on any bc before the Lo, but i broke out so bad...i still am....right after starting it so i switched when my month was up asap. Were you on another b/c prior to the LO?

I wish they could determine somehow which bc is best for each person...it would make it a lot easier on all of us females!!
