TriLevlin is triphasic, but it helps with my menstral migraine. It slowly lowers the estrogen level through out the month. I took it for 8 years before with no problem, but now, it seems to be different.(age related Im sure)

I also tried Yasmin and it made me MOODY and my hair fell out ALOT.

On Ovcon, did you have breast swelling/soreness, weight gain, tiredness, bad cramps? I've never been on an estrogen dominant pill except for ORTHO-TRI and it was terrible!! I think because it was triphasic.

I figure I can try Ovcon and if it doesn't work, go back to Trilevlen....I'm really just scared to screw my system up again. I tend to gain weight VERY easily when my hormones get messed up. I can gain 12lbs in 7 days...

Thanks, Nan
