ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel: I've been on this pill for 2 months now and a week before starting my period the 2nd month I started having severe signs of depression. That have only gotten worse as time as went on.

Cryselle 28 (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): My face is a little blochy, red, oily and I am breaking out pretty badly now, since I started taking this birth control.

Lo/Ovral (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): Unfortunately, this Birth Control pill gave me the worst headaches! I think I had at least 2 per week. Some were migraines. I was also more emotional but the headaches were the reason I stopped using this. No weight gain or acne.

Low-Ogestrel-28 (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): Been on this pill for about 6 months. Went on it for two reasons:
1) Irregular/missed periods
2) Contraception Purposes
It has been very effective in regulating my periods. I get them on the third placebo pill, every month, like clockwork. They use to be horribly painful, and I now only get occasional moderate or light cramping, with much lighter and shorter periods (3-4 days).
So far so good as a contraceptive. I am in a monogamous relationship, and therefore this is my only means of protection. The only issue I've had is that it caused some nausea, particularly when I haven't been RIGHT on time with it (few hours late or something). Overall, a very good pill.

Lo/Ovral (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): I felt very nauseous the whole time, and suffered from a hyper sensitivity to smells which only compounded the problem. It happened from the very first day that I took the birth control and lasted a few days after I quit.

Low-Ogestrel-28 (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): Been on this pill going on two and a half years now, no problems so far. I have rarely had bad cramps and I have had no issues with spotting to date. Overall, a gentle but highly effective pill.

Lo/Ovral-28 (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): Before I got on the pill, my cramps used to be horrible. I started the pill a year ago and haven't had any cramps since. I love it and don't plan on getting off until I'm ready to have kids.

Lo/Ovral (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): I have tried a few types of birth control pills before this, but Lo/Ovral has been very effective as far as period control is concerned. I usually skip the week of placebos and jump straight into the next pack to avoid having periods altogether, and this is the only birth control pill that doesn't cause breakthrough bleeding as a result. It has been an effective contraceptive.

Low-Ogestrel-21 (ethinyl estradiol/norgestrel): I have tried several different birth controls. They all gave me major mood swings. This birth control is the first one that I have been able to take successfully.
