Hello, I have been taking Tricylen-lo for about a year now, and to my
knowledge, everything is working fine for me. Everybody's different,
though, so the only way to know would be to try it. The only thing I've
noticed was some mild weight gain, and brest enlargement. No libido
issues or mood swings. My pms is a little less predictable- sometimes
not even noticable, sometimes quite severe. It used to be pretty
consistent month to month, but is still tolerable. hope this helps.
