Hi r_anderson23, welcome!

Take a look at the post 'Your pills and what's in them...' in the FAQs. It lists the ingredients in Tri-Levlen along with a lot of other pills as well as the ring and patch. Thanks for posting. Come back and see us.

Take care,

Here`s what I found about Tri-Levlin:

"Tri-Levlin - Phase 1- 0.05mg levonorgestrel, 0.03 ethinyl estradiol Phase 2- 0.075mg levonorgestrel, 0.04 ethinyl estradiol Phase 3- 0.125mg levonorgestrel, 0.03 ethinyl estradiol"

( http://forums.obgyn.net/pcos/PCOS.0012/0046.html )

Levonorgestrel is the progestin; ethinyl estradiol is the estrogen.

Hope this helps!
