Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"I'm 22, and this is my first time on birth control. I've been on Loestrin for 8 days now, and I'm only taking it to prepare my body for when I get married in a few months, so I'm not using it to prevent pregnancy at this moment. The first few days I was kind of shaky and dizzy, but the past 3 days, I've felt nauseous and very tired. At this point, I'm wondering if it's worth it to feel bad on a daily basis? I'm going to continue taking the pill, but I might switch to taking it at night, like some reviews have suggested. I'm optimistic that the side effects will wear off after a month or two. I'll try to post another review after I've gone through a pack or two."
