   Ortho Tri-cyclen and Facial Swelling (Acne board)

13th February 2003
This doesn't really pertain to acne, but I know a lot of you are on it b/c of acne and there isn't a birth control board here.

When I went on Ortho Tri-cyclen, I *thought* my face swelled a bit. It had a rounder, fuller, chipmunk-cheek look. I thought I was just me. When I switched to another one, several people commented that I lost weight (I didn't, my face just looked normal again). Then that BC pill wasn't working out so I went back on Ortho Tri-Cyclen and I swear, I thought it puffed up again.

Now I'm tired of no sex drive and am switching to Low-Ogestrel (in a few days) to try something different. I don't know if I'll "deflate" again, but has anyone else had this happen? My boyfriend thinks I'm on crack, but I swear my face looks "fat," and no, I didn't gain weight. I'm actually in the best shape of my life.

Thanks!
