Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
birth control
"I've been on this birth control for 6 years now (I am 19). It has definitely decreased my cramps and pain as that was the original reason I was put on birth control. I work out often so I don't have to stop running anymore from pain. Now that I've become sexually active, my periods are always on time so I never worry. My mood is crazy but at the same time i have anxiety problems which I take a low dose of medication for and I went through middle school-currently college on this stuff so I think overall it's not the medication, it's me haha. I have always been very slender. I notice I always bloat and have a little belly that never seems to go away but it's not a big deal. IT CAN make you nauseous...but the trick is to eat a lot with it."
