I went off the pill. I went on them mainly for the help that it gives with PMS - and so many people have had reduce PMS symptoms. Well the cramps weren't near as crippling as they used to be, they were still pretty bad. Also, the pill helps keep my skin clear, and even with this LC benifits, I started to get break outs again. Needless to say I am back on them and quite happy.

BTW: I didn't lose any faster off of them (Ortho tri-cylean)
