Desogestrel / ethinyl estradiol
"Hi everyone! I've been on Reclipsen for over a year now and I didn't think it was that bad. I thought I had finally found my birth control but now I have changed. I loved this pill because it really controlled my periods and cramps. I had little cramps and lighter periods, but my period wouldn't start until 3 days after taking the sugar pills. I've been reading other comments about headaches and I can agree that I have had headaches every other night but they weren't bad. I could still fall asleep. I am changing to a different pill because I didn't like how I gained weight on this pill. I gained 10 pounds at least, and I've been getting heavier. It's really hard to lose the weight on this pill also. time for a change!"
