Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
"I have been on Microgestin for 3 years now and ever since I got on the pill I have noticed something very strange that was super uncomfortable and uncontrollable, excessive sweating. For the past 3 years, I have tried every type of deodorant, anti-perspirant, and even getting laser in my armpits! Just last night I connected to dots and it all led back to this pill. I have a hormone imbalance and I still have to find another alternative for birth control. With reading the different reviews keep in mind that every woman's body is completely different and all have totally different hormones and ways that your body can react to it. Something to take from my experience: look into better birth controls before deciding on this pill in particular."
