Coincidence?: Check out http://www.Drugs.Com/ortho-tri-cyclen.Html for info re ortho tri-cyclen & http://www.Drugs.Com/sfx/ortho-tri-cyclen-side-effects.Html re potential side effects. Anorgasmia is not listed as a common concern. So perhaps this is a coincidence? Ssri-class antidepressants are well known to cause anorgasmia - did you start that at same time? Best to go see prescribing physician re side effect.

Multifactorial: Inability to orgasm can be influenced by many factors, including medications, stress, illness, and many others. If nothing else has changed and your ability to orgasm is negatively affected by your birth control pill, a lower-hormone or non-hormonal form of birth control may be more appropriate for you. Ask your doctor if a different form of birth control may be more appropriate.
