Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"I started Junel to try & have shorter, more regular periods. I'm on my 5th month using it now. For the first 3 months I would spot for the entire week before my period would actually start, but I stuck with it since they say your body takes time to get used to it. I don't have that issue anymore but I have gained at least 11 lbs in the last 2 months & I'm the type that does not gain weight easily (I've probably gained about a pound a year since 2007). I've been wanting to gain weight but this came on kinda suddenly so I'm a little worried"
