Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"I have been on this pill for over a year and I love it! I used to be on the Nuvaring and it was the absolute worst experience. I was constantly crying/arguing/depressed without any reason. I also gained a lot of weight on the ring. I have not gained any weight in Lo Loestrin Fe except for in my breasts. I also have not had any mood swings in comparison to the ones I had before on the ring. My periods (when I do get them, which is rare now) last for 2 days and are super light.  A downfall is that since Lo Loestrin Fe is so new it is still pricey without insurance coverage. But it is great and after using it, I'm hesitant to switch to anything else."
