Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
birth control
"Was on this pill for three years for my polycystic ovarian syndrome. I loved it. No cramps, no weight gain, no acne, no spotting (unless of course I didn't take it at the same time every day). Only thing I noticed was I lost my sex drive. I am somewhat worried too; I wanted to give my body a break so I was off the pill for three months and almost went bald. I'm not sure if my PCOS caused it or my body became dependent on the pill and the lack of hormones caused it. So now I'm currently seeing my doctor to resolve this problem and more than likely he will refer me out to a endocrinologist to help regulate my hormones. But remember each person is different and what worked for someone may not work for you and vice versa."
