Loestrin 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: Loved this! I took three weeks and then started a new pack so I never had a period. Loved that! Since it is so low in estrogen, I was able to do that. Took for 10+ years but got off as I got close to 40 years old. Recommended it to all of my friends and everyone who switched over loved it.

Loestrin 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Birth Control: This is my first time on any birth control, it was wonderful. Too bad it's so expensive even with insurance - that would be the one down side.

Loestrin 1/20 (ethinyl estradiol/norethindrone) for Endometriosis: Taking this medication for endometriosis has made all my symptoms better. I no longer have the horrible cramping and irregular bleeding. There isn't any more inflamation but i do suffer acne and have gained 15lbs in the past 2 months using loestrin
