Levonorgestrel-ethinyl estradiol is a combination hormonal birth control pill widely used to prevent pregnancy. It contains two synthetic hormones, levonorgestrel (a progestin) and ethinyl estradiol (an estrogen), that work together to stop ovulation, thicken cervical mucus, and thin the uterine lining.

Levonorgestrel-ethinyl estradiol is one of the most widely used and studied forms of birth control. It’s generally considered a first-line option due to its reliability, affordability, and effectiveness. That said, several alternative hormonal contraceptives may be better suited for certain users depending on their preferences or health risks.
Compared to other birth control methods:
• Progestin-only pills (e.g., norethindrone): Suitable for breastfeeding women or those at risk for estrogen-related complications, but they must be taken at the same time daily and have a slightly higher failure rate.
• Hormonal IUDs (e.g., Mirena): Last 3–8 years and offer localized hormone release, but require in-office insertion and removal.
• Implants (e.g., Nexplanon): Offer long-term protection with low maintenance but can cause irregular bleeding.
• Injectables (e.g., Depo-Provera): Effective quarterly shots but may lead to weight gain or delayed fertility return.
• Patches and rings: Provide estrogen and progestin but may increase skin sensitivity or risk of clotting similarly to oral options.
Ultimately, levonorgestrel-ethinyl estradiol offers flexibility, familiarity, and proven effectiveness. A provider can help determine the best option based on your health, lifestyle, and reproductive goals.
