Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
acne
"Do not take Norethindrone!!!! I actually want to have my period so I know nothing is wrong with me. I was on ortho tri for 3 years and I had to get switched to this. It made me have two periods in one month, made me skip a period, made me have a period and then skipped two more months. In those months I had bad cramping and spotting all the time. And to add to that my entire back is now covered in acne. I've never had acne on my back and now my entire back is ruined because of this birth control. The only positive thing is that I gained weight on it and that's all."
