Ethinyl estradiol / norgestimate
"I was so afraid to go on birth control, because I always heard about weight gain and acne. I recently got on it just because I'm intimate with my boyfriend and wanted to be extremely safe and I must say sprintec is amazing. The only issue I had that really got to me was I was on my period the first month for two weeks it made me really sick because the amount of blood I lost but I took it easy. I get the occasional break out before my period which is completely normal. Other than that my skin is seriously so clear! I get the same symptoms before my period, sore breasts, acne and occasional cravings. But surprisingly this makes me not want to eat and I've actually lost weight. Lastly, there's been no pregnancy scares or babies on the way. "
