Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol
"I hate this birth control. I have gained excess weight, which never happened to me on any other b.c., and my PMDD is worse.

My doc gave it to me bc I get severe headaches the week before, of, and after my period. So basically 3 of 4 wks in a month. And I was having horrible mood swings. Extreme PMS...as I said PMDD. This was supposed to help bc of lower levels and regulating hormones.

Other than less severe headaches nothing has been lessened and I have gained 20lbs that won't go away. I am quitting this pill today."
