Im 20 and was taking Levora (low estrogen and low progestin) for 6 months – I didnt like the bloating, hair loss, irratablility, increased hunger, etc. So yesterday I started Necon 10/11 and I have slight tenderness and irratiability but other than that I'm fine for now.

My Question: the Necon has twice the amount of progesterone than the Levora but the SAME amount of estrogen. I've been searching the web and journals but cannot find out: What effects does raising progesterone levels have on a female?

Scholarly info only please, thanks!
