Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"My doctor gave me this birth control because I wanted one that was more natural and less damaging to the body. I've been on it for 5 months now and I'm still not getting my periods when I'm suppose to. They come randomly each month, however, I get slight cramping the day before to warn me. They're very light and for about 4 days. I've gained close to 10 lbs. I've changed my diet dramatically and I'm working out, so I know it's the pill. Other side effects include (painful) breast tenderness and hunger.  It's very expensive. I'm giving it 2 more months to finish my 2 packs and then I'm switching to a different birth control if I don't see any changes. The nurse said this is all normal."
