Cheryl,

I, too have taken Lo-Ovral most of my 9 years on bcp. Why did you OB/GYN change your bcp? If it was working for you, I don't know what prompted the switch. I have taken Lo-Estrin and another Demulen, both made me extremely irritable and emotional. I don't think one bcp is better than the other, I believe it is different for everyone.
