DESOGESTREL AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL vs NORELGESTROMIN AND ETHINYL ESTRADIOL

I made a post about this last week but some new stuff has happened and I didn’t really get a lot of help the first time. I (20 afab) have been on the pill for years, I take it continuously.

Hi, I (26F) have been taking the pill for years but still have many questions about how it works and with Covid it’s very difficult to find someone to ask where I live. Because I am very sensitive to hormonal changes and imbalances (it triggers my OCD) my family doctor at the time and a gynaecologis

Hi. I have a hypertension related issue regarding my mother. The main reason why I have decided to take a second opinion here, is because the country we live in has famously incompetent and irresponsible doctors, who over-prescribe certain medications without thorough check-up. She is 53 years old,

Hello everyone! First time posting here but felt compelled to ask about anyone else’s experience with the Zydus Norelgestromin and ethinyl estradiol patches. I have been on Xulane for about 7 months for the main purpose of helping abate my severe PMDD and I’ve had a lot of success with it! This was

I have been on Xulane for years with positive experiences and I wait by ed OBGYN’s and got a very generic looking box reading “Norelgestromin and Ethinyl Estradiol Transdermal System 150/35 mcg per day” instead. From my research it looks like it’s still Xulane and the pharmacist asked if I do Xulane

I had a pretty late diagnoses. I was born without ovaries and streak fallopian tubes which I had removed at 13 years of age to begin growth hormone treatment untill I was 18. I began small doses of estrogen at 13 that was built up over time. I'm now on HRT through the Evra patch that gives 203mcg+3

I’m 24, 5’5 and 145lbs. My main reason for using contraception is for acne control and to regulate my periods (I get extremely painful and heavy periods). I was using the Evra contraceptive patch for a few months and most of my side effects only lasted for the first week (mild headaches and nausea).
