Ethinyl estradiol / levonorgestrel
"This pill didn't work for me. I was it for 3 months.  I spotted for several weeks (probably 6 weeks), gained weight (went from size 0 to a 4 -6) and felt depressed and suicidal. I switched back to a pill I had been on several years ago (Levora/Portia).  It's been 2.5 weeks since I switched pills and I already feel back to normal.  I'm back to size 0, mental health is normal, and no more spotting. Jolessa didn't work with my body's chemistry but that doesn't mean it doesn't work. The birth control pill is trial and error, in my opinion.  Find what works for you."
