Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"Having tried 8 different pills, plus Implanon (implant), I can finally say I found a pill that works for me. It's changed my life. Sounds dramatic but it's true - before, no matter which pill, I was experiencing excruciating cramps, back aches, mood swings and very heavy bleeding for at least 6 days. Lo Lo Estrin Fe has changed all that. I don't have a period at all which doesn't worry me. I'm happy not to go through that pain every month. Now I have a few small signals that I would normally be having my period (slight back ache, slightly more emotional) 
Overall I'm really happy with it. I think it's down to the dosage level - the very low amount of estrogen works really well for me. 2 years and counting!"
