[Birth Control] Ortho-Cyclen vs Ortho-Tri-Cyclen

Can someone explain the difference between Ortho-Cyclen and Ortho Tri-Cyclen? I understand the different dose rates of norgestimate (ie. the dose increases week-by-week in the Ortho-Tri-Cyclen, but is the same (higher) dose each week in the Ortho-Cyclen) but wonder what this means in terms of 1) impact on the individual, and 2) why one is prescribed over the other? I have been on Ortho-Cyclen (very happily), but was just given Orth-Tri-Cyclen - and I don't know why. I think it might have been by mistake and am wondering if it really makes much difference? If I just take the Ortho-Tri-Cyclen, what changes might I expect?
