I have been on Lo/Ovral for eight years now to reduce the problems I was having from ovarian cysts that were extremely excruciating at the time, but my IBS can cause worse cramping and pain. I LOVE THIS PILL!!!! I actually lost weight when I started taking it, but then after about 3 months, I started gaining weight-unfortunately all in the breasts (went from a D to and F/G cup). I haven't really had any problems with PMS from taking the pill until my period this month. Course, I am trying to get stablized and everything didn't go well. After talking with my doctor we are going to have me take the pill straight for two months and not take the placebo pill and see how things go for then after six weeks. If things are miserable then, I will be taking the pill straight for four months, have a period and then repeat.

Right now I feel my pill does a great job for me, and hopefully after I am stablized and my period happens things will be easier. At least that is what I am hoping for.

Hope that helps.

-Michelle
