I crave bad food all the time, periods are every 3 weeks and cramping which I didn't have before, occasional acne, forgetting to take pill within 3 hours... I felt constantly sick and was eventually freaking out that something was wrong with me....turns out it was the BC. Ugh never again!!!!! I also did horribly before with Depo and my new doctor told me it's basically the same thing. If I had only known..... | F | 28 | 6 months 1x day | 4/9/2013 | 1 | estrogen free due to having cancer | I have been having mood swings which make it hard in my relationship. I get spots all over my face. Very tender breasts. Bad cramps and heavy bleeding and i was told I wouldnt bleed. So disappointed with this. Dont recommend at all. | F | 25 | 4 months | 3/27/2013 | 1 | to prevent pregnancy | Stopped my period then it appeared and it was very heavy. Bloated cramps worse then normal. Became very depressed and would cry and had thoughts of suicide | F | 29 | 3 days | 3/24/2013 | 2 | Migraines | Weight gain, one period since I started taking it, bloating, crams, stomach pains. | F | 17 | 5 months | 3/23/2013 | 1 | Birth control | Depression, stress, hating everyone, fInding everyday life hard. Extremely tired all the time feeling lazy, easily annoyed, lack in wanting sex, head aches. I couldnt take being on this pill any longer so I stopped 3 days ago and I'm feeling so much better already much to my fiancé and daughters delight, we were going to ttc in 3/4 months so will just condoms until then and hope it hasn't messed my body up to much. This pill is vile would NOT recommend!!!! | F | 21 | 4 months | 3/23/2013 | 3 | nursing/birth control | moodiness, heavier period | I started taking this when I was 6 weeks postpartum. I thought it was fine....the first two months I had a period that was very light and only lasted about 1 day. I had a period on Feb. 13, Feb. 25 it started back up again and has lasted 3 days so far and way heavier than my periods have ever been! For that fact, i already dont like this BC method. I also beleive that it is making me really moody!!!!!!!! And irritable! I want to get off of it, but i still want to continue nursing and NOT ready for another baby anytime soon!!! | F | 29 | 3 months 1X D | 2/27/2013 | 1 | Birth control | Started taking micronor as I was in new relationship and can't go on combined pill due migraines. 2 months on I have gained weight, my breasts are very tender and I have noticed a lump. My skin is dry and blotchy on my face and my hair seems greasy. I feel bloated all the time I have had 2 urine infections (never had before micronor) and a dose of thrush. I have become irritable and have lost interest in sex which is not great in a new relationship! The penny has dropped this pill had taken over my body and mind and I am not going to continue to poison myself anymore! | F | 29 | 2 months | 2/27/2013 | 1 | Birth Control | Sore nipples, bad back acne, cramps, less sleep, mood swings. | F | 35 | 6 months .35 1X D | 2/19/2013 | 2 | Prevent return of Endo | I had intense anxiety, depression and was constantly broken out on my chin! | F | 38 | 3 months 1X D | 2/12/2013 | 2 | Breastfeeding | Pregnancy | I was taking it after having my son becuause I was trying to still breastfeed but mostly pumping. My period was already irregular and was every 6 weeks, when I talked to the doctor about it he said that micronor would corect it and my body would go to a 4 week cycle but after a couple months if taking it I started to have the same feelings I did when pregnant with my son so I took a test and found out that I was infact pregnant. I now have a 16 month old and a 3 week old baby and again was put on the micronor because I'm breastfeeding. I think they need to invest in a birthcontrol that is safe well breastfeeding but actually works! (both kids were wanted just not so close together) | F | 26 | 1X D | 1/24/2013 | 1 | Birth Control | ACNE (cystic). Unstoppable. Around my mouth. | The only side effect, was unbelievable unstoppable untreatable acne. I work in sales and I am around men all day. It was embarrassing. Nothing would treat, diminish, deter, or control the acne. It occurred to me, all of a sudden why I was getting this acne. It just hit me "it's my pill". I went to the doctor the next morning, got Diane-35 and literally OVERNIGHT my skin is clearing up. I admit, I took 2 (I don't advise) and my skin will be okay tomorrow. If you have sudden acne, it's this pill. It did increase my libido. | F | 31 | 3 months 1X D | 1/16/2013 | 5 | Breastfeeding | I started taking this pill because my doctor prescribed it because I was breastfeeding. I have stopped breastfeeding my daughter about 2 and half months ago, and I'm still taking it. I have not gotten my period yet, since before I found out I was pregnant. I was worried I might be pregnant. I dod understand that being on this pill can affect your period. After reading all the comments about this pill. Seems like heaven sent. I'm really good at remember to take it the same time daily. I have put the pack at a place where I can see it through out the day. So it's hard to forget to take it. I haven't really experienced any mood swing that I've experienced on other pills in the past. However, I have gained weight. But it's nothing I can't work off in the gym! | F | 32 | 9 months | 1/11/2013 | 1 | Nursing/birth control | I was nursing my daughter so I had no choice initially, but when I stopped nursing, I was having periods like every other week. I just thought my cycle would be irregular after pregnancy, but it went on for months!! And the decreased libido, and easily being irritates were other major side effects. Going back to tricyclic birth control pill. | F | 34 | 8 months | 1/1/2013 | 1 | heavy periods | weight gain - 18 pounds since using,craving bad food and constantly hungry,bloated tummy (look 9 months pregnant),periods every 3 weeks that are worse than before,headaches,forgetting to take pill within 3 hours,went to gp last week who has advised me to stop taking this which i did. | F | 43 | 5 months 1X D | 12/30/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Im still worried i could be pregnant . this whole not having a regular period is absolutely horrible. i have mood swings like crazy. i am breaking out and its making me feel like im in middle school all over again. im constantly depressed. im nauseas, stressed and have horrible back pain i thought i was crazy for blaming this for being the reason for all this stuff but it seems like the majority of people taking this have the same thing going on as well | F | 19 | 1X D | 12/26/2012 | 4 | planned pregnancy | I have experienced a little bit of a loss in my sex drive but otherwise these pills have helped a lot. My periods are shorter and easier to manage. I haven't experienced any weight gain because of the pills, and I'm less irritable. I'm overall satisfied with micronor. | F | 23 | 2 years 1x Daily | 12/21/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Made me feel like crap, especially when I stopped it. I gained weight too. My dr would not give me regular birth control because I said I get headaches. I would not recommend this birth control. | F | 21 | 7 days .35mg | 12/13/2012 | 1 | birth control | tender breasts, depression, suicide thoughts, weight gain, self hatred, anger issues, nightmares, loss of sleep, constant fatigue, constant period throughout 3 months of taking it, over emotional, cry over everything, feel lazy all the time, loss of sex drive, feel anti-social | absolutely hate this pill! felt like i was going mad, thinking i was depressed and nothing, read all these comments and realised it's not me, it's this tablet. doctors gave it me to stop the heavy period that other pill caused, but would have the heavy periods any day over what this did to me. felt worthless, split up with my boyfriend on a number of times, self harm issues, starved myself because of the weight gain. going to my doctors tomorrow after reading all this, i want out! | F | 16 | 3 months 350mcg 1X D | 12/11/2012 | 1 | Breastfeeding/blood pressure | I have had the worst headaches and nausea. Everything was going great physically until I started micronor two days ago. I went on it because I had a baby four months ago and am breastfeeding. I also have a two year old but like other people have written, it's better to be pregnant and have another baby than feel like this. Plus, after seeing all the negative posts I am terrified to take it one more day. Too bad doctors don't give any warnings. Back to condoms! | F | 39 | 2 days 35 mg | 12/6/2012 | 1 | preventing pregnancy | I hate this pill. Caused so much bloating I couldn't even fit into my clothes. Constant sick feeling. Horrible. Stopped taking it and got on depo provera two years ago and its been wonderful. No bloating or anything! I can't take estrogen do to a clotting disorder. | F | 21 | 6 months | 12/1/2012 | 1 | Contraception | Extreme irritability and anger issues. I am normally cool calm and collected with an even temper. But while taking this there are times when I want to punch my husband and stomp him in the ground. I also find times where I take pleasure in knowing my children are upset and hope they are and I just aggravate the situation even more. Micronor makes me evil and I have to stop taking this today! I am a nice person and I have never felt this crazy and cruel. | F | 27 | 2 months | 11/30/2012 | 2 | Birth Control | Irregular period which eventually became no period, very sore nipples, nausea, lower back pain. | My period is two and a half weeks late, and after taking 4 pregnancy tests, I have determined I am not pregnant, especially since I didn't miss a pill and also used a condom, but these are common side effects of Micronor. For some people, not having a period is fine,for me, it's my "you're not pregnant" saving grace. I can't handle not having one. | F | 23 | 4 months 1X D | 11/4/2012 | 3 | To regulate my periods! | Have started getting loads of spots, headaches and aching ankles. | Having to take micronor to regulate my periods after been absent since February this year and a week into using these tablets I am getting loads of spots (never have more than one at a time normally) headaches everyday and aching ankles. Don't know weather this is due to the pill or something else but all started since taking this pill! | F | 23 | 7 days 350mg 1X D | 10/24/2012 | 4 | contraception | so far I have had no side effects on this drug. the only issue is I have just started my first period and it started as brown spotting and is still very light. no need for anything more than liners and still brown. I have heard that bleeding becomes irregular and I was a week late if i were to count it as a period. therefore I would say try it for a few months and fInd out. you don't know what effects if any will appear unless you try and they would not give it unless it was safe to do so. | F | 20 | 6 weeks 350mcg | 10/16/2012 | 1 | contraception | Depression, paranoia, emotional, doubting my self worth, irregular bleeding, irritable, irrational agitated and that was on a good day! I would definitely not recommend this pill to anyone, I thought I was going crazy and stopped takin the pill 3days ago. Returned back to my normal self now. Thank god! | F | 27 | 3 weeks | 10/8/2012 | 1 | birth control | irritability, fatigue, no sex drive, leg pain, constant period | I thought I was crazy. I've always been even tempered. After a week, I thought I was bipolar. I almost punched my fiance several times. I have no sex drive, and even if I did, I couldnt because I have 3 week period and then spot the rest of the time. Never take this. Made an appointment today to change my bc in two days. | F | 21 | 2 months 30mg 1X D | 10/2/2012 | 1 | Extremely bloated! Gained 4 lbs in one week. Extremely fatigued. No energy. Cramps! Tender breasts. | F | 30 | 1 months 30 mg | 9/28/2012 | 4 | Birth control | little nausea first week on them | I switched to this pill because the estrogen in combo pills was zapping my sex drive, and giving me headaches. Two weeks on progestrin only pills and I am back to my old self! Due to start my period soon, hoping they work as effective birth controll as well!! | F | 27 | 1 months 1X D | 9/11/2012 | 5 | birth control | No side effects whatsoever. My weight fluctuates with or without pills. I hated the depo severely. I can't take regular birth control pills due to smoking and migranes. I expected to feel awful with this pill but its great. I highly recommend this to everyone. Set a cell phone alarm to remind you to take it and you're good. | F | 30 | 10 years | 9/9/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | I am about to go doctors to get taken off this pill. It is a great pill for birth control as I have zero interest in sex at all!!! Was on it because they won't let me go back to Cilest after having my daughter and now being over the age of 35. Am having a period twice a month which lasts at least 10 days a time - wasn't expecting to have any at all. I weigh more now than I did when I was 8 months pregnant and I just can't shift the weight at all. I have really horrendous skin (particularly on my face). The only thing I can put all these things down to is this pill as nothing else has changed in my life. I was losing weight before they put me on this and it's just piling on now :( | Absolute tosh - ditch the hormones and use something else. | F | 35 | 9 months 1X D | 9/2/2012 | 1 | Birth control- breastfeeding. | Mood swings, irritability, migraine-like headaches, absolutely no sex drive, vivid dreams/nightmares, insomnia, acne. | I'm nursing my son, so I didn't have many options as far as birth control goes. This pill is awful. In my experience, these side effects are so bad I'd almost rather have another child in 9 months than continue taking it and putting myself through this. | F | 20 | 1 months 1X D | 8/24/2012 | 1 | Heavy bleeding | Dizzy nauseous, itching breasts, extreme fatigue, chest pains muscle aches | F | 46 | 6 days 35 mg | 8/16/2012 | 1 | To prevent pregnancy | Migranes, anxiety, loss of sex drive, PREGNANCY! | DO NOT take this pill!!!! It is not effective at all! Just found out I am 8 weeks pregnant and i never was late or missed a pill! So beyond upset right now as I was told to go on this pill after i had an abortion becuase of medical issues....now i am faced with another pregnancy that will probably result in a miscarriage. | F | 27 | 10 months 1X D | 8/7/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Mood swings, greasy hair/scalp, greasy skin(face mainly), very tired all the time. Random bleeding & thrush that seems to come back as soon as I've got rid of it. Don't take this pill ! I was on micro hymn for years & it was amazing! I'm going back on it this week! | F | 25 | 1 months | 8/1/2012 | 4 | Blurry Vision and pain in arm | At first I was concerned about the fact that your period is not regulated. I spotted a bit during the first month. No period. | I went onto micronor because I was experiencing loss of vision and pain in my arm. I was switched because my doctor believed that the estrogen in the pill I was on may have been thickening my blood. I was put on this pill because of a specific reason. I have been on this pill for two months now and have never been so happy. I have always had really heavy bleeding my whole life and when i switched to micronor it caused me minor spotting in the first month and I have barely experienced a period otherwise. I believe that this pill is only right for you if you are experiencing the side effects of other pills. You may want to switch because it can potentially stop your period. I only switched because i was experiencing side effects that could have lead to stroke but if you are happy with your pill then stay on it. Any change in birth control will make your body act up for 3 months so the only way to know if you are happy is to stay on the pill for 3 months, unlike the women that switched and are complaining about symptoms because that is common when switching bc pills. Talk to your doctor and make sure you are switching for the right reasons. Your body is a sacred being and you should not take it for granted. My only concern now is that I have not had my period (which is common in this pill) so now I don't know whether i should be having pregnancy tests done regular or how to go about that. | F | 21 | 60 days 1X D | 7/27/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Weight gain, depression, mood swings, swollen joints, legs and feet, erythema nodosum (lumps on legs). | I hate this drug and it didn't even work as birth control. Had an unexpected pregnancy and miscarriage. | 39 | 90 days 1X D | 7/27/2012 | 5 | Severe Period Pain/PMS | In the beginning- some spotting and seemed I had a period twice in a month. I am taking 3 weeks of the pack, then skipping the last week (placebo) as it is not for birth control. On and off erratic spotting for about 4-6 months. The hardest part is making sure you take it at the EXACT same time each day. I have an alarm set on my phone and make sure I have the pill with me when I am out. This makes a big difference with spotting. | Miracle Drug for me. I was worried about the constant spotting at first- but then realized compared to the severe and debilitating periods I have been having for about 20 years now- I would take it! Eventually my body adjusted, and I think I have had 2-3 periods this entire year. My first real period was longer than usual- and heavy. I was crampy, but not in the usual severe pain. The next 2 were so light I was not sure it was an actual period. I don't think I have had a period in 6 months and am LOVING life. I not longer suffer from anxiety thinking about how my upcoming period will ruin my plans or cause me to call out of work. Because I am not planning on having any more children and have blood clots in my leg, this pill is perfect for my situation. My quality of life has drastically improved. Before my doctor prescribed this- I was asking for a hysterectomy. That's how tired I was of being in pain all the time. I have NO other side effects at this point that I notice. I have zero PMS symptoms, have lost weight, and feel like a new person. Highly recommended for those who are looking for relief from period pain | F | 40 | 1 years 1X D | 7/19/2012 | 1 | High Blood Pressure | I went on this new pill because I started having problems with my BP after my pregnancy. I have been taking ortho-tricyclin since I was 16, and the idea of switching didn't make me comfortable. But in the past 25 days, I have been waking up with neck pain and headaches, having problems with random, severe nausea, and I am breaking out like I am a teenager again. Because of these things I looked it up and found this site, and WOW, what a pill. I go to my OB in three days and I am switching back to my old pill, and I will deal with my high BP in another way. | Don't bother with this pill. | F | 29 | 25 days 1X D | 7/14/2012 | 1 | Ease periods | Acne, dizziness, anxiety, and constant cramping. I am so angry with my doctor after reading these comments! She gave it to me because I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the injection while abroad for 3 months and was nervous about having my period for the 1st time since being on the needle; I started after a month of being here and thought I was experiencing culture shock all over again! I am getting off this today anything sounds better! It's ruining my experience abroad! | F | 22 | 2 weeks 30 mg | 7/10/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Numbness, severe timgling in legs, feet hands, arms, severe dizziness, nausea, vomiting, rapid weight gain, severe anxiety, loss of sleep, severe calf pain, no period at all | PLEASE READ ALL SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS AND CONSIDER THEM VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE DECIDING TO TAKE THIS MED!! I started this for birth control and by the middle of the second packet I felt so horrible I thought I was having a stroke. Ended up at the doctor's office twice in one week. THIS PILL IS TOO DANGEROUS!! | F | 47 | 45 days 035 mg. 1X D | 7/7/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Weight gain 15 lbs in 45 days, anxiety, irritability, hungry all the time, swelling feet, tingling/weakness/numbness in the arms/legs, severe migraines, anger, loss desire in sex, acnes, dizziness, nauseas, tire all the time. Already missed an entire week of work because of migraine. This DAMM medicine is a silent KILLER!!!! | After six week of having my baby I went back to my normal weight of 145 lbs. But after I start it taking this pill my clothes now does not fit me. This silent killer should be recall for GOOD. Instead of doing something good for us women is killing us slowly. | F | 35 | 46 days 1X D | 6/28/2012 | 1 | Breastfeeding | Anxiety!!!!!! Horrid anxiety at night (I took the pill at 8pm) Parinoia, anger, fatigue. | F | 28 | 2 months 1time a da | 6/26/2012 | 1 | Birth control | Depression, crying easily, restless legs, lowered sex drive and who knows what else that I just didn't realize micronor was causing! | I overcame severe clinical depression years ago, and when I started micronor I thought I was spiraling downward. I began to lose hope that I'd ever live a normal life. I cry every night, feel restless and hopeless, not to mention there is zero intimacy in my marriage. My mom asked me if I'd made any changes lately, such as a new pill (she' a nurse) and thank god for her. I looked up micronor and depression and found this site. Thank everyone who rated this drug. I'm stopping this pill tonight. I also noted that many woman got this from planned parenthood, as I did. They need to seriously work on their provided information. If you've had any of these side effects, stop this pill ASAP! | F | 27 | 2 months 1X D | 6/26/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Anxiety, paranoia, depression, low self-esteem and self worth, feeling disconnected from everyone, socially isolating myself because of the above. Just not feeling myself for a long time now, and I just want the old me back. I've been moody, grumpy. a bit possessive and paranoid. No issues with random bleeding, in fact my periods have been pretty regular, but quite painful. And I seem to get a constant period like pain even when I'm not on my period. Acne, greasy hair and just generally look terrible! My boobs have decreased in size slightly, and get quite tender towards my period. Slight weight gain. However I don't need to worry about getting pregnant because my sex drive is non-existent!! | Started taking Micronor after my blood pressure was raised on the combined pill, and was told I was no longer recommended to take it (especially as I have a family history of stroke). I have spent the past year or so thinking I have some real issues, I've been to see counsellors etc. Thinking back, I was absolutely fine before I started this blasted pill! I just want to get back to normal and feel the urge to have sex with my boyfriend, that's the worst side-effect in my opinion!! | F | 23 | 2 years 30 1X D | 6/19/2012 | 1 | Contraceptive, migraines | Severe depression, anxiety, paranoia, intense anger, road rage, loss of interest in sex, loss of focus/ memory/ cognition, low self-esteem, bruising on legs (bumps haven't gone away in months), no patience, very fatigued ALL the time, yawn constantly, cry easily, pounding head, eye pressure, sweaty, restless legs, acne on face, chest, back, neck, butt; breasts seem deflated. | I feel like a complete fool for not researching this pill (or any bc pill for that matter) beyond what limited info I got from Planned Parenthood and the pamphlet that the company provides. My life has been a struggle since starting hormonal contraceptives and I plan on quitting for good. The side effects have only gotten worse over time and I truly believe that if I were to continue, I'd be committing a slow suicide thats been ok'd by the FDA. Getting a copper coil instead. Synthetic hormones do damage, period. Looking forward to getting myself back! | F | 30 | 1.5 years 0.35 mg 1X D | 6/17/2012 | 1 | breastfeeding. | Moody, cramps, bleeding | F | 32 | 7 days | 6/17/2012 | 2 | Contraceptive | lactating while not pregnant, migraines, blurred vision, fatigue, constant hunger | F | 24 | 20 days 30 1X D | 6/11/2012 | 5 | birthcontrol | For women who dont know this micronor doesnt regulate your period. Its not for that . You're doctor should have explained that before you started taking it. I take it for having hi blood pressure, I haven't had any problems on it . Nor have I gotten pregnant. I recommend this if you have migraine problems or high blood pressure . | F | 19 | 8 months | 6/8/2012 | 1 | Bc | Ok at first, period lasted 2 days, then a wk later continuous spotting for approx 2+ weeks, very difficult to be able to be intimate with bf due to non stop spotting. | F | 34 | 2 months .35mg | 6/7/2012 | 1 | BC and Migraines | Weight gain 60 lbs (running, dieting cant lose any) Mood swings ( depression, anger, all over the place) Lose of sex drive VERY oily face Currently period 2 weeks long and counting. but have gone more then a month or 2 without any body aces (back, chest, legs ect) tender breast lots of vaginal discharge Cant get any other kind cause of Complicated Basilar Migraines. Talking over with common-law about stopping. Worst Medication ever. I would LOVE to be able to go on another kind....I don't recommend this Pill | F | 21 | 2 years 35 1X D | 6/3/2012 | 1 | Contraceptive | Moooooddiness. Anxiety. Depression. pain in legs/numbness. ACNE! UGH! hair growth. Ruined my skin! GAIN SO MUCH WEIGHT and then when i was eating health exercising to lose weight it was relativiely impossible to lose any lbs. Contantly feeling tired and useless. Honestly the worst pill anyone can take. Took it for high blood pressure,but i swear it was giving me high blood pressure. | I can not believe doctors still recomend this pill to woman. Should be banned from the market. They should make commercials about this pill like the scary YAZ ones on TV. | F | 25 | 3 months 30mg 1X D | 6/2/2012 | 2 | Birth control/Migraines with aura | I have been taking this pill for a little over a month and at first everything seemed alright. I had experienced bad mood swings with the 2 previous pills I had been on with estrogen. At first I thought my mood had improved with micronor but now I'm starting to have angry outbursts again and I'm feeling very depressed/disconnected from everyone. I have been very tired the last few days but I am not sure yet if it is from the pill. I have not had any bleeding yet, which may seem like a good thing, but I would rather have my period regularly so that I know I'm not pregnant. For that reason alone I would not stop taking the pill, but if the moodiness/depression continues I would rather take the risk of getting pregnant than keep dealing with the side effects. | F | 21 | 1 months 1X D | 5/27/2012 | 1 | Breast feeding | Anxiety really bad, crying none stop, snapping at just about everyone over anything. Bloated like crazy, cramping none stop. Angry like no other when I a really happy quiet person even yelled at my mom today which I have never done. This was my first time ever on the pill and I don't even think I was this bad with my Two pregnancies. | F | 27 | 10 days 0.35 | 5/23/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Loss of sex drive, bacteria vaginosis (BV), extreme vaginal dryness, extremelly painful breasts, acne all over my entire body, extreme mood swings. | After being off of this pill for 10 months, breasts don't hurt anymore, acne has mellowed out, moods have regulated. I still do not have sex drive. Still have vaginal dryness that keeps causing BV infections. It seems like this pill has "kicked" my body into perimenopause. It SUCKS!!!! Do NOT TAKE THIS PILL. I was online looking to see if this company has been sued yet. | F | 34 | 4 months 1X D | 5/21/2012 | 1 | Bc | Pain in legs and hip, constant bleeding and cramping, mood swings, weight gain. I hate this pill. Worst one I've ever taken. apparently Planned Parenthood must have an agreement with this company. This pill is not for everyone and it is the only one they will put me on. Would rather risk getting pregnant than dealing with the constant pain and bleeding. | F | 43 | 3 months 1d | 5/18/2012 | 1 | Aura Migraines | I can't believe I took it this long and never looked up side effects! I'm crying seeing I'm not crazy after all!! I had another nasty fight with my BF and we were almost broken up again! I act insane with anger mod swings alcohol makes it way worse. One sec I'm fine next I'm furious! I also put on about 20 lbs this last year and really since I started it slowly added up. My back and chest break out which never used to happen. My scalp breaks out too and my hair gets oily and thin! I have only had one migraine since on it which is the only plus. Seeing how it has destroyed me as a women not worth it! | I read these comments to my BF and he is happy to have me get off it. I hope these side effects go away quick, it's been a tough 3 yrs! Weight is hard to lose, and I'm tired of always being tired and angry all the time. I used to be so positive and sweet. I will post up again in a few weeks to see if I feel better. | F | 27 | 3 years 1X D | 5/16/2012 | 1 | Birth Control | Headaches, weight gain, no sex drive, bloating, depression, acne | This has been a really rough 2 months for me. I have never felt worst and to make it worst I just gave birth 4 months ago so I thought I was having post-partum depression. I hated everyone and felt down in the dumps. Not to mention I looked like I was still pregnant I am so glad I found this site so now i know I am not going crazy. I would never recommend his pill to anyone, they are just plain evil. I dumped them, the minute I found this site and made an appointment to have my copper coil put in. | F | 29 | 2 months 28 1X D | 5/9/2012 | 3 | Contraceptive | Slight migraine in first month, sore breasts that feel itchy and lumpy all the time, IBS was manageable before but now its much worse, loss of sex drive. | After being on microgynon for under a year which made me have severe migraines, then Cerazette for under 6 months, which made me bleed at a month at a time and caused me to vomit regularly, micronor is a breeze! Although there are some down sides to it, like my itchy boobs, they drive me absolutely stir crazy. They are extremely painful constantly as well, when before it was only in the week before my period that they were sore. | F | 24 | 3 months 30 1X D | 5/8/2012 | 1 | Breastfeeding and contraceptive | Since starting Micronor two months ago, I've been extremely moody, depressed, and have no sex drive. I have developed acne (even on my back) which I have never had before taking this pill. Worst of all, I've had spotting for three weeks straight and have gone right into my next period, which is WAY heavier than normal! That makes a full month of bleeding, which has been heavy enough for to require a tampon! Pregnancy was easier! There should be more warnings out for this scary product!!!!! | F | 31 | 2 months | 5/6/2012 |
