ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel: I've been on many birth control pills as I am 35 years old. I had the least side effects with this one. No mood swings, no break through bleeding, and no nausea. My doctor told me that this brand is no longer available. I hope this is not true. I am researching now.

Low-Ogestrel-21 (ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel): It is the only medication that controls my period. I am 50 years young and my period should have stopped. After trying many things I am taking this even though I can no longer have children. I have been on it for a year and have gained some weight but I don't know if that is the pill. I exercise regularly and eat healthy. I would recommend anyone to try it.

Low-Ogestrel-28 (ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel): I get severe acne now, I sweat more often then not now, and I now have cramping - which I have never had before. Plus I start my period early and end late.

Lo/Ovral-28 (ethinyl estradiol / norgestrel): I was put on Lo Ovral at 13 for abnormal bleeding, basically 6 weeks, non-stop. I stayed on it until I was 28 years old with no problems. Previously, as most young girls I was very moody and had a lot of struggles. On Lo Ovral I did have one hard day a month, prior to getting my period but otherwise it was great. I never noticed any weight changes, had no spotting, acne symptoms, cramping, or heavy bleeding. I have two children now, and had them without any difficulty relating to taking this birth control for so long. Problem is now that I am older, 33, it no longer works for me, I spot during the month. I am truly struggling to find a good replacement birth control. It may not work as good for everyone, but I wouldn't be afraid to try it!

ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel: Migraine ratio increased. Bleeding stopped and started, no rhythm to it at all. Not overly effective in this particular case.

ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel: I find that I sweat a lot when taking this birth control as well as facial hair. Lately I have noticed that I have been getting blemishes on my face. Will be discussing this with the doctor.
