| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR MICRONOR | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 3 | | 12/15/2004 | 1 | Birth Control | Constant bleeding, quasi-meopausal symptoms including hot flashes, bloating...the works | Make sure to take it in time each day, in my case taking it late brought on increased cramping | F | 23 | 1 years | 1/10/2005 | 4 | nursing | I had spotted a lot for 2 months and finally found out at my ob/gyn that I was pregnant. I miscarried 2 weeks later | F | 32 | 1 years | 1/25/2005 | 3 | birth control | slight nausea for a few minutes every few days. complete stop of my period after 5months. | take this if you have had visual migraines like me. if you don't have a good reason for taking this, i would recommend a combination drug because this drug stops your period and it is freaky not knowing if you are pregnant or not.... | F | 21 | 7 months | 3/26/2005 | 2 | bc | I liked micronor until i developed nervousness, nausea, bloating, minor headaches, backaches at about the same hours every night about 8 hours after ingesting the pill. | F | 20 | 1 days | 6/27/2005 | 4 | BC-POP's due to migraine history | The only side effect I've noticed is the break-through bleeding that occurs the 1st six months of taking. Now, I rarely have a period--about every third month--and I'm not complaining about that! It is a must that they be taken at the same time every single day though so you do have to be disciplined--or else there comes the break-through bleeding. | I hear that it is a little bit less effective than combo bc pills. | F | 34 | 1.5 years | 7/18/2005 | 3 | contraceptive with no estrogen | I've gained weight, I got my first period during the 3rd month. | I've switched from tri-cyclen to micronor due to an upcoming surgery. This is not a flexible pill, you always have to be careful about taking it at the same time every day. I didn't get my period until the 3rd month, and it causes me worries about pregnancy when I don't have my periods. | F | 27 | 4 months | 8/21/2005 | 2 | nursing | Nausea that reminds me of morning sickness, loss of period... I'm constantly thinking that I'm pregnant! | I look forward to being able to get off this drug. | F | 26 | 6 months | 9/28/2005 | 2 | nursing | Extreme fatigue, depression, overall aches (neck, arms, legs), stomach pain within 10 minutes every time I take the pill, | Symptoms started almost immediately after taking pill. | F | 26 | 7 days | 10/6/2005 | 4 | contraception | increased acne and hairy legs | overall I am very pleased apart from occasional spottiness and definitely hairier legs. I have lost a stone in weight and am happier and more confident. i think that progesterone suits me better than oestrogen. | F | 32 | 6 months | 11/14/2005 | 3 | migraine history | i'm more hairy, nausea , unregular periods (sometimes twice a month), heavy flow, i have headaches more frequently | I prefered Alesse, but I have no choice. They have to be taken at the same time everyday and I find that difficult because I have an irregular schedule. | F | 26 | 2 years | 11/24/2005 | 3 | Nursing | Nausea, cramping, irregular periods, lack of sex-drive, fatigue | Definitely take the pill at the same time everyday. I didn't like how I constantly felt like my stomach was cramping even when I wasn't on my period. | F | 20 | 7 months | 12/10/2005 | 3 | blood clotting problems | weight gain, more rapid hair growth | I have not gotten my period yet and it has been 7 weeks. It makes me paranoid that I may be pregnant. Taking it at the same time everyday is very difficult. | F | 31 | 6 weeks | 1/5/2006 | 2 | been using for a year acne has got very bad on my face.not hapy at all will be getting coil fitted.as every one says why is your face full of spots it has made me lose confidence of appearance! | makes your periods irregular and less. | F | 26 | 1 years | 2/13/2006 | 2 | High BP on combination pills | Heavy and long periods (8 days!), irregular cycle, breast tenderness, Severe menstrual cramps, decreased sex drive, acne. | I have never had any PMS, now I know what PMS is. I had to stop last month as I could no longer take side effects. | F | 28 | 2 years | 2/18/2006 | 1 | Migraine/ contraceptive | Increased weight, tender breasts, severe acne on my chin which I cannot tolerate anymore, thrush | F | 33 | 2 days | 4/2/2006 | 4 | age | weight gain | F | 46 | 1 years | 4/4/2006 | 1 | nursing | Migraines and nausea, lack of any period. | When I stopped taking Micronor my bi-weekly migraines stopped. I started taking this when my son was born and after a year still had not had a cycle. Two months after discontinuing use (still no cycle) I discovered I was one month pregnant. | F | 31 | 1.3 years | 4/10/2006 | 3 | Birth Control | Nausea !! achy arms and legs, spotting, sore stomach, bloating, thrush. | No pattern to symptoms. Some weeks no side effects whatsoever. Other weeks I get the above symptoms - often all at once - scary as I think I may be pregnant. No weight gain or acne at all which is good. | F | 32 | 6 months | 4/18/2006 | 3 | OCP | Lack of sex drive and weight gain | Combo of decreased sex drive and wieght gain - Not good!! | F | 43 | 18 months | 4/25/2006 |
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)
