Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
"Taking Jolessa started out good, no bleeding the first month but then the second month started spotting which lasted a pretty long while maybe 3 weeks. I just now got to my actual period and wow the cramps are unbelievable. I used to never have cramps but now my cramps have been so terrible that I can't sleep, but maybe since this is my first period while on the pill. After my body gets used to it maybe I wont have such severe cramps."
