I just stopped taking Ortho-Novum 1/35. I'd been on Levora for about five years, and it killed libido, so doc thought the O-N 1/35 would help.
Month one -- side effect of moodiness.
Month two -- side effect of breast tenderness in the three weeks before period, but moodiness gone!
Month three -- side effect of really bad cramps before period, but moodiness still gone and breasts weren't sore.
Month four -- migraines week of period :eek: However, all previous side effects were gone. The migraines were enough for me to call doc, get off pill, wait a month or two and then try a non-hormonal IUD. I think most people respond differently to diffferent pills, tho.
Good -- well, more like the fantastic thing is the libido came back with a vengeance almost immediately :bouncing: :bouncing:
Good luck!
