Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"I was origininally on Loestrin 24 Fe for almost three years, I then switched to this because loestrin 24 Fe switched brands I guess? So I figured I'd try something new. I'm 19 and have now been on lo loestrin for almost 2 months, I have noticed a major breakout of acne in my chin area. I never breakout so it was very unusual for that to occur, I as well noticed a weight gain of abuout 5-6 pounds just in these two months. I am pretty active and eat well and normally can't gain weight, so I am still not happy about that. I have also noticed having intense headaches, I'm not sure if its from the birth control, but i've never had them like this before. The pill does decrease any cramping or nausea I had previously. Probably going to switch back"
