I started ortho cyclen one day ago, and i woke up with my leg numb for the first time. it went away after rubbing, but still worries me.

OCPs: The likelihood of your leg numbness occurring from one dose of orthocyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) is very low. If symptoms persist speak to your doctor and perhaps they will alter the means of contraception to another method.
