Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"This is the only birth control I've been on and I'm sticking to it because it works really great for me! The first three months or so I had no sex drive - but it passed so it wasn't a permanent side effect. It's been at least seven months now and I get hardly any cramps, whereas before I used to get them so bad that I'd fall on the floor in pain. Hardly any period (lasts about three days and I can use liners for two days, regular sized pad for one day) whereas before I had a really awful, heavy seven-eight day period. I also have really clear skin now too. I'll get maybe two tiny pimples in total nearing my period and that's it. It's fantastic. 

And of course, it's also done it's job as a birth control pill."
