Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"This was my first experience with birth control but I have to say I absolutely love it. I used to get horrible heavy periods in which I would go through at least seven super tampons a day with extreme cramping. Now my periods are light and unnoticeable. For the first couple of months I had bleeding in the middle of my cycle (very light, not even worth a pantyliner) but this went away as my body adjusted. I honestly feel like Lo has helped my mood swings (probably because I'm not in horrible pain for a week of every month) and I'm much happier with it. My sex drive was unaffected as well. Overall I absolutely love this birth control!!!"
