Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
birth control
"I took this pill for birth control after a lot of considering on whether or not this was the right option for me because I was pretty skeptic and didn't like the idea of putting synthetic hormones in my body. I'm about to start on my second month, but so far my experience has been pretty positive. My only problem was really intense mood swings for about the first two weeks, I felt so sensitive about the littlest things. Thankfully, this went away after about 3 weeks. I also noticed a slightly higher sex drive. I haven't experienced any weight gain, as long as you control your appetite. Overall, I wouldn't turn away from using this because of these really bad reviews. Everybody's body reacts differently."
