Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"I have been taking Microgestin for three months now. It's birth control. Sure, everyone needs to find the right one for them but it really isn't as horrid as everyone is making it... Side effects happen.. you're pumping your body full of hormones. For the first month I didn't break out a tad bit more than usual, my boobs were extremely tender and I was feeling lethargic but around the end of month 2 my face became extra clear, my boob tenderness had subsided and I have my energy back! GIVE YOUR BODY TIME TO BECOME ADJUSTED. . That's it. Do that and you will be A OKAY side effect AND baby free."
