| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR MICRONOR | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Birth control | None at all. | I see that some people had truly terrible experiences with this pill, but everyone's body is different, and Micronor is worth giving it a try. It is a mini pill - progestin only - and it contains the minimum amount of artificial hormone one can take in order to prevent ovulation / implantation. It is much safer than the combination pill, which also contains estrogen and a higher dose of progestin, especially for long term use and for people over 40. If it works great, if not, move on and try something else. | F | 44 | 17 years typical 1X day | 4/11/2019 | 5 | Birth Control | Missed or very light periods. Haven't had a regular flow since I began taking (not a bad thing). Occasional sore breasts. Slightly decreased sex drive and lubrication. Not enough to cause an issue. | Overall no major issues. I can't take combination pills due to migraine with aura. My migraines have actually decreased since taking this. Overall, very happy with this medicine. | F | 29 | 1 years 0.35mg | 6/26/2016 | 5 | Cannot take combined pill | When I started taking micronor I had light bleeding for about three weeks. I then had a regular period but now in the last 6 months I don't have a period anymore. If I do forget a pill then it causes me to ovulate which I am feel and then two weeks later I will get a very short period and some breast tenderness. However, if I take it correctly this pill is amazing for myself. And since taking it my migraines have subsided. | F | 16 | 1 years | 3/31/2016 | 5 | birth control | Since taking micronor I've actually lost weight after struggling to for years.only downside smaller breasts. | F | 41 | 7 years 1 a day | 1/18/2016 | 5 | Horrible PMS and cramps | frist 6 months: weight gain, breast growth, dark skin on face, vaginal dryness, low libido, bloating, After 6 months: Almost all of these have gone away (I think) | It's changed my insane 3 week long PMS symptoms to a 2-3 day affair. My long, heavy and clotty period (needed to change an ultra max tampon every 2-3 hours) into a light/normal one (a light tampon lasts 4-5 hours now). Although I can't use it as contraception because I"m late far too often (3 hours is a missed pill and that sucks) I think I'll be on this for a long time since it's a life saver for me. I'm on this pill since I had very severe and abnormal side effects with the combined pill. | F | 26 | 10 months .35 1X day | 12/3/2015 | 5 | Contraception | breast tenderness, irregular periods | I love this pill! I do experience some breast tenderness on this pill and I probably only get my period about every second month, but it makes me feel better than any other pill I have been on. Surprisingly, my acne disappeared within weeks of starting this pill! I haven't experienced any hair loss, weight gain, extra moodiness, fatigue etc. Overall I feel much better on it, especially in comparison to combination pills | F | 22 | 9 months 1X day | 10/2/2015 | 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 | 5 | Contraceptive | Some spots occasionally | Love this pill, get some spots every so often. Haven't had a period since I started it which has been great. | F | 21 | 4 months 1X day | 9/27/2014 | 5 | Protection | No side effects no bloating protects me in my great sex life | F | 27 | 4 months 30mh | 5/9/2014 | 5 | High Cholesterol & Heavy Cycles | I was taking Beyaz and took Yaz for years before. I was put on Micronor because I have high Cholesterol . I've only been taking it for three days and I've already got a cycle .Its very light and no pain of any kind . What's amazing is I have no symptoms at all I feel like a million bucks . I should have been on this all this time . I take it at the same time every day and all the symptoms I had on the Beyaz are gone . I think everyone is different . Not everything is for everyone. | F | 39 | 3 days 0.35 | 1/13/2014 | 5 | birth control | Ok I have been on everything. Combined pills made me sick,depo caused headaches and stomach problems,implanon made me have flu symptoms and it nearly got lost in my body. So I tried this and have been on it since. No weight gain,no mood swings,I can happily raise my child with no cramps or periods. I love it. | F | 29 | 6 years | 12/21/2013 | 5 | stop pregnancy | Had awful side effects with cerazette so switched to micronor and everythings nrilliant. No mood swings, no being an emotional wreck! Periods are very regular every 28 days for approx 4 days. | F | 27 | 7 years 350 | 9/28/2013 | 5 | birth control | I've been taking this for over ten years. Tried the combination pill as a teen and can't take estogen. Tried depo and got violent migraines. Then tried this and I've been on it ever since. Got off to have a kid and now I'm back on. I love it! Not everyone has a bad experience. My periods were messed up at first but now I have a tiny one each month. You will break out at first also but that goes away when your body adjusts. Give it a chance! It has the least hormones and never caused me to gain Weight. | F | 27 | 10 years | 8/15/2013 | 5 | used to get aura migraines | I was put on micronor because estrogen increased my chances of getting aura migraines. I was very good at taking my pill at the same time every day. In the first year if I took it off schedule even the slightest I would have spotting. I have. Or had a period since then. I never want kids and not having to deal with a period is the most amazing thing ever. In the past while I've been less good about taking it at the same time (new city new job new timezone etc). Still no period or spotting at all - but my boobs have doubled, and being that I was an A that is a good thing! I have gained about 5 pounds since the move because I'm not as devout at the gym - but before and after starting this pill I was very skinny. I have always had bad skin, so I missed that benefit of the estrogen pills, but with the right products and age I seem to be balanced now. All the reviews seem awful - and my friend also had a horrible experience. Guess I lucked out. No periods and perky boobs. | F | 35 | 5 years .35 mg | 6/10/2013 | 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 | birth control | No side effects | F | 34 | 2 years 1 x daliy | 4/18/2013 | 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 | 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 | 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 day | 7/19/2012 | 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 |
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)
