  • Healthy female subjects requesting contraception and currently using a low-dose EE containing oral contraceptives (OC) in a 21-day regimen (for at least three months) and suffering from at least two of the hormone withdrawal associated symptoms headache, pelvic pain and bloating during all three months prior the planned baseline cycle and requiring further OC use
  • To be valid for randomization, the total 7-day composite score of hormone-withdrawal symptoms during the baseline cycle must show an increase of at least 50% during Day 22 - 28 versus the 21-day composite score during Day 1 - 21 (21-day score divided by three [for normalization])
  • History of regular cyclic menstrual periods

  • bleeding pattern(reference period is 90 days.)
  • Adverse Event collection(up to 10 days after end of cycle 4)
  • change from baseline to cycle 4 in number of days, where individual hormone withdrawal symptoms are present on cycle days 22 - 28 (i.e. Likert Scale >= 1),(Cycle days 22 - 28 of baseline cycle and cycle 4)
