Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
"I gave it exactly a year. I'm giving it up because 1. I'm seemingly too busy to have sex and 2. Too busy to remember to take them. I noticed my hair thinning out in the first few months, but my skin was a lot clearer. My cramps went away and my period became shorter and lighter. I'm naturally very small, but have been able to gain weight before (though slowly). Since on the pill I've been dropping pounds that I can't afford to. Mood swings were not as bad on this pill as when I was on ortho trycyclen low. I think I'm going to take a break and see how my body reacts."
