Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"I switched from Kariva because I was having pretty bad cramping during my period. I have been on Loestrin for a week.  The first 3-4 days I had severe migraines constantly.  I was relieved when that passed, but a few days later the insomnia began.  I have a horrible time falling asleep and when I can fall asleep it's a very light sleep and I feel exhausted all day which is terrible since I have a 14 month old to care for. I'm talking to my doctor and either switching back to Kariva (I'd rather have cramps than this) or using another method. I'm over pills. Can someone please make a pill for men? It's so unfair that we have to put our bodies through this to prevent pregnancy."
