Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"This has been my very first birth control pill. I have taken it for almost an entire month and so far everything is good. What I've noticed so far is that I'm more moody/emotional, I feel hungrier than usual, my period is lighter but my cramps are still there and they've been there everyday. They used to end around the 2nd day but I'm on the 4th day and I still have cramps. I can manage cramps and a little moodiness tho, so no biggie. No weight gain so far but I work out 3-5 times a week and drink lots of water. No acne but I use Proactiv because I used to get bad breakouts. My doctor said I'd be protected after the first 7 days so I have had sex with a condom but it was after 2 weeks. I'm pretty satisfied so far. Plan to stick with it."
