Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"I have been on this pill for almost 2 months, being the first pill I've ever tried. I have no complaints in the effectiveness, when taken the same time every day, give or take 5 or 10 mins, it prevents pregnancy. However, I've unfortunately suffered the side effects, the first month I was spotting for about 2 weeks until my period which thankfully was now only 2 days long vs my previous heavy 5-7 days I normally had. I had intense headaches, nausea, and occasional mood swings. Another side effect that wasn't common (as far as I can see from these reviews, yet still possible) vaginal itching in this second month. It is bothersome. Yet, these side effects seem to be diminishing, I'm not complaining, this is just my body getting used to it."
