| 5 | Contraception | I have not had a period since starting to take Micronor, which is great. I have had no other side effects. | It has been a very successful pill for me. | F | 54 | 14 years 1X day | 4/21/2015 | 4 | birth control | Noticed so many negative comments on here! I was very happy on this pill for years. I think most of you are most probably progesterone intolerant hence why you experience the bad effects. | F | 53 | 3 years 350 | 5/18/2015 | 3 | Cramps | feeljng bloated irritable and weight gain. Just wondering if any body knows what happens when you quit micronor what are the side effects .im wanting to quit | F | 51 | 6 months 30mg | 2/3/2016 | 2 | Birth Control while on BP Med | Consistant excessive spotting, weight gain and acne. | I've been on Micronor for the past 2 months which lessen my cramps which I love. I normally weigh approx. 133 but even after dieting and exercise, I have managed to gain 12 pounds within 2 months. I can deal with the acne, but not the weight gain and excessive spotting. | F | 50 | 2 months | 5/1/2009 | 1 | had Mirena Coil removed | F | 50 | 350mcg 1X day | 6/1/2010 Patient History | 5 | blood pressure | Tired and no engery.Very anger all the time Just mean to everyone.very bad acne on my face and shoulder.This pill I have decided to stop tonight gladly. I Been thinking for months why am I feeling so bad and my face whats breaking me out....nowI know.....done | F | 49 | 5 months 5mg | 5/27/2013 | 5 | Age/no longer able to take estrogen | Mild bloating. Weight gain for me associated with not pushing myself away from table. | No period in the 3 months I have taken. No real side effects. If you are estrogen intolerant this could be the BCP for you. | F | 49 | 3 months | 6/6/2007 | 4 | Birth Control | Slight weight gain | I have migraines so this was the only thing I could take. I have never taken anything before in my life, so I have nothing to compare. It has worked great for me and I will continue to use it until I get a Mirena. While not thrilled about the weight gain, that can come off once I am off the pill. I've never had any spotting or additional bleeding. My periods are less than 2 days, but that also can be attributed to my age and nearing menopause. I've had zero side effects - other than the weight gain. It's been perfect for me and my bf, as our time together is very limited due to it being a ldr. | F | 49 | 6 months standard 1X day | 3/2/2010 | 1 | Age 49 GP won't give combipill | Bloating, hair loss, itchy skin, spots/lumpy skin.

MICRONOR (NORETHINDRONE): This medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It is often referred to as the "mini-pill" because it does not contain any estrogen. Norethindrone (a form of progestin) is a hormone that prevents pregnancy by making vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changing the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. This medication also stops the release of an egg (ovulation) in about half of a woman's menstrual cycles. While the "mini-pill" is more effective than certain other methods of birth control (such as condoms, cervical cap, diaphragm), it is less effective than combination hormone (estrogen and progestin) birth control because it does not consistently prevent ovulation. It is usually used by women who cannot take estrogen. To reduce the risk of pregnancy, it is very important to take this medication exactly as prescribed. Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia). (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
