did any of you experience breakouts? if you did, was it during the first month? when should I expect to see improvements? 3rd month???

:wave: Hello Sky -

I am on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo. I just started in January and am finishing up my 3rd month....I start my 4th pill pack on Sunday. Right now, my skin is doing very well! I have had no new pimples develop for almost a week! :D

Something in my regime is working! I don't know if it is the OTC Lo, Cetaphil, or the fact that I have been taking Cephalexin (antibiotic) for a sinus infection I had last week! Hopefully it is a combination! ;)

About the initial breakout question you had, my 1st month was not bad...I had no problems. It was my 2nd month that was a NIGHTMARE!! :eek: I don't want to scare you because everyone is different, but I developed horrible cystic acne along my chin and jawline that took about 2 weeks to go away. I still have keloid scars from 3 of them and have been applying Vitamin A and 100% Aloe Vera Gel to help smooth them down!

I am just happy my skin is staying clear...hopefully it will continue! I would much rather have scars than zits because scars usually are not very visible under makeup!

Anyways, good luck with your pill and health! :angel:
