Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
birth control
"6 Years I've been on this pill.
It's a great pill if you hate having a period every month. But being 22 is a lot different than being 16, and my body just isn't liking the pill anymore. 
Main Con's - Heavy bleeding, ZERO sex drive. 
Con's of taking the pill in the 1st to 3 years - Painful sex due to vaginal dryness, slight nausea if took in the morning
Con's at the end & why I'm stopping (4-6 years) - Hair loss (just more hairs come out when I would brush it)  More pee breaks, breakthrough bleeding, cramps & spotting when climaxing, & spotting during vigorous workouts. 
Pro's - Never got pregnant, stable mood, no breakouts, hair thinner on arms&legs
I never had spotting in between packs( until Now) or gained any weight, & I'm pretty sedentary."
