I currently take Lo-Ovral (continuously right now, meaning no periods) and I personally have no side effects from it. I switched to Ortho-tricyclen a few years ago because the lo-ovral was causing break through bleeding, but after 10 pounds of weight gain and severe migraines, I asked to go back on the Lo-Ovral. All is well now, not even any break through bleeding. I can't tell you for sure how you will feel since things effect everyone differently, but I have been on about 5 different kinds of pills over the years and the Lo-Ovral has been the one with the least side effects.

Hope this helps! Amy Meyer
