A member asked:
How long does it take for ortho tri cyclen to balance a 45 yr old womans hormones? if not balanced what other bc pill would work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Balanced: What do you mean by balance hormones? Usually, if they are used for irregular periods, i give them 2-3 months to "balance" periods until i label them ineffective. Other treatments will depend on your problem, which requires more information.
