A member asked:
Can ortho tricyclen lo make you shed more of your uterus lining during your period? especially if this is the first time taking birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The oral contraceptive pill actually decreases the growth of the lining of the uterus(endometrium) making for lighter and shorter periods from hormonal withdrawal bleeding..
