Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"I'm about to complete my 3rd week in my 21 day pack. I've been consistently bleeding since starting the pill and experienced excruciating cramps during the first week. Since then, I've only had light cramping here and there but have been spotting every single day (very annoying as I have to wear panty liners every single day and change them often as it's not exactly light spotting). However, I haven't noticed any weight gain nor increase in acne. One thing that is interesting is the complaints of decrease in libido, which I can't exactly say if I've been experiencing it or not since I've been bleeding. I haven't been all that excited to jump into bed with my boyfriend so it might just be because of that but I can't tell."
