Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
"I have been taking this for 3 months now. 

Cons: I have always worked out 5-6 days a week and still have gained about 8-10lbs since starting this pill.  Has caused bloating, loss of sex drive, and quite often nausea.  

Pros:  Skin looks a little better, periods are regulated, and cramps are exceedingly less.  But to be honest many of those weren't really much of an issue  before, the only one was the cramps and that I just had to make sure to have some Advil or something on hand.  So... in the end not a huge fan of this."
