Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"I'm 20 years old, started taking this pill about two months after I had my daughter. I have been on this pill for about a year now, for the first couple months I had mood swings and a week before my period I had pretty bad cramps. But, after those couple of months the cramping went away, and my periods are light, only lasting about 2-3 days. Still have occasional mood swings, but other than that, NO problems with weight gain, acne, hair loss or anything of the sort. This is the first birth control pill I've ever been on, and I was cautious about how well it would work, and its been working great so far."
