questions on ortro tri-cyclen

[myfakelife.livejournal.com]

i'm going to start BCPs next week, ortho tri-cyclen. the reason i'm taking BC is because i am not ovulating, probably due to my eating disorder/erratic weight gain. i was just wondering what the side effects of this form of birth control may be: physically, mentally, and the effects on my overall menstrual cycle. i've heard talk about weight gain, mood swings, maybe increased acne? a bit of info about myself that should probably help with answers to my questions: i'm 18 years old; i have no allergies to any type of medication; i am not currently taking any prescribed meds; i am mildly sexually active with males and females; i use condoms & coitus interruptus as contraceptives. hope that someone out there can help me out.

Hello again, I'm just wondering if anyone out there has tried the parsley tea thing and can help me. If I wanted to make my period come early, like 3 weeks since the last one instead of 4, and I try the tea one month, will it come the next month around the date of when i took the tea, or around the date it originally came? I hope this makes sense, thanks for your help :)
