Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
abnormal uterine bleeding
"I got on this BC to help manage my excruciating menstrual cramps and it did take away that pain. You really don't get much of a period on this pill. I get maybe 3 days of what seems like just light spotting. I don't really know how healthy it is to not get an actual period though. I've been on the pill for 3 months now. The main issues I have with it are weight gain, acne, & vaginal dryness. I'm 25 y/o & I've always been a skinny girl, and before I started this pill I weighed 123 pounds. I've now gained 6 pounds in 3 months, bringing me to 129. I've never seen the scale at 129 before & I never gain weight that fast. I workout 4-5 days a week & eat pretty healthy. Also having more acne than normal. I'll be trying out a new pill."
