Hi all.

My doctor gave me a prescription for Ortho-Cyclen, also known as Mononessa. Has anybody ever used this before? I think I read that the hormones present in this are progestin and estrogen. What exactly do these hormones do to your body to prevent pregnancy? Also, how long would I be taking this before it "properly" works? Thank you for any input.
