Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
"I've been on LoSeasonique for 2 sets (6 months).  I've seen no weight gain, no changes in my skin, and my hair is as thick as ever.  I like it, I went off of LoEstrin because I had bad cramps that got worse when I went off it for a year, and pelvic pain (caused by cysts).  SO, this birth control certainly assisted with alleviating these issues.  It's helpful though to exercise regularly I think.  I've had spotting but its nothing compared to my normal heavy periods. I am questioning what other benefits this pill may hold over others. "
