Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"I was on Depo shot for 6 years, no periods, no weight gain, all great. I then had to be taken off so I got the Mirena, still no periods but I was in constant pain so I had it taken out and started this pill about a month and a half ago. I've been extremely moody and irritable. My periods have been regular so far. I have noticed I'm starting to gain weight and bloat and it doesn't seem to be related to the period. I feel like a balloon. I've also been experiencing a lot of headaches and body/joint pain over the last couple weeks. I'm pretty miserable and will be switching to something else as soon as I can."
