I just had my baby in November, and started back on "the pill" (Ortho-Tri Cyclen Lo) in January I am on the placebo pills (due to get my period) and my face broke out really bad. Will this adjust once I am on the pills for a while? Or will this happen every month?

It could be from the type of BCP you are on, talk to your doctor, maybe they can switch you to a different kind. Most brands have different levels of each of the hormones, one may work better than the other for you as far as the acne side effect goes. Also it is completely normal to break out during or around your period.

Usually BCPs prevent the occurrence of acne. I am not on BCPs and I get a pimple of two around " that time of the month." I think its just the hormone imbalance we experience during that time of the month. Plus, after you have a baby, your body has to go through hormone changes as well. I hope I helped with your question.

some people break out all the time on birth control because of the hormones.....your doctor may be able to give you a different pill that doesn't bother you, everyone is different so it may take a few tries to see what is best for you

I have heard that it reduces break-outs so I don't think so. You're body just went through a huge change too. Acne can be caused by eating oily foods so cut down your intake sweety, congrats on the baby!
