Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"I began Junel FE 1/20 five days ago and I'll update this after a couple months of having been on this pill. I'm using it for birth control as well as period regulation. I got my period on a Saturday and began taking it the day after. My period was extremely heavy for the first day because I'd taken Plan B earlier in the month but immediately after beginning the birth control my period was actually lighter than usual. I've never had great skin, and I've noticed some increased acne since starting the pill, as well as some depression. I'm going to give my body some time to let my hormone levels balance before I really judge this pill, but those are the effects I've seen immediately after beginning it."
