Ortho-cycleen, Spironolactone & Glucophage for the past 8 months. Side effects have been upset stomach and nauseousness but that's about it. Facial hair is gone and I just lost ten pounds, so as far as I'm concerned it's taken a long time to kick in. Periods are regular now after practically bleeding to death. I'm happy about the regular periods but I wish the weight would come off more rapidly. At this point, I'll take back the facial hair if the weight comes off. I guess my husband will just have to deal with a hairy wife. ha ha! Hope this will help some. Regards, Loren
