MONO-LINYAH  (ETHINYL ESTRADIOL; NORGESTIMATE):  This combination hormone medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It contains 2 hormones: a progestin and an estrogen. It works mainly by preventing the release of an egg (ovulation) during your menstrual cycle. It also makes vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changes the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. Besides preventing pregnancy, birth control pills may make your periods more regular, decrease blood loss and painful periods, decrease your risk of ovarian cysts, and also treat acne. Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).   FDA Approval Date: 2012-05-23 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  Prevent pregnancy & weight loss Started taking this pill exactly 6 months ago. Let me just say that this is the WORST birth control ever. The first whole month I experienced the most painful cramps and depression. I couldn't leave my bed for weeks. I've gained 25 lbs in 6 months, got acne and it completely destroyed my sex drive. I would not recommend this pill to anyone. This is truly the worst birth control ever. I used the NuvaRing (which is great btw) in the past until I decided to switch to pills and this is by far the worst pill I've ever been on. Stay away!!! Do your research. F 28 100 days
