I have been taking OrthoTriCyclen for 2 years now. 2 years ago, i was
about 10 pounds lighter, but it took 2 years for me to gain the whole 10
pounds. Also, i have been noticing light brown, flat spots or patches
of the spots on various parts of my skin. I believe it is caused by the
ORthoTricyclen. Has anyone else noticed any small spots?
