| 1 | Extremely bad mood swings snapping at everyone feeling no connection with daughter bloating ibs symptoms really tired all the time | F | 28 | 2 years 30 | 6/10/2014 | 1 | As a Birth Control | Major Mood Swings, Depressive tendencies, Pent up Anger, Frustration, Feelings of worthlessness, Constant Shroud of Anxiety, Light but Frequent Periods | I have not had a day in the past two weeks where I have not cried. I thought I was just depressed, having moved to a new city and recently graduated. I thought that the monthly rent, my new job, having a few amount of friends, not having the exercise routine I wanted to. I thought maybe it was driving me into a depressive hole. But everything was so bad. I am still on it currently and I can tell you I have major lack of interest in activities, no drive to try and put myself out there, and the mood swings. Oh my god the mood swings. Yesterday I had my first anxiety attack. Couldn't breath it was so strong. Literally knocked me down to the floor with all the weight of it's worrisome, worthlessness. I cry if my boyfriend does or says something wrong. I mean 4 hours straight crying after already staying up until 3 in the morning and having work at 4:30 the next day. Over Everything. I am typically a logical, sympathetic person but Micronor threw me over the edge. It was a constant flow of easily jolted desperation to grasp onto my emotions and control myself. I felt irrational. What's lousy is that I blamed myself. I didn't think it could have been my birth control. I was never warned this could be a side effect. I blamed myself for being erratic and did not know why I could not get a handle on myself. As of tonight I am no longer going to be taking Micronor in hopes that within the two week span of filtrating out of ones system, everything goes back to normal. I wish everyone l | F | 19 | .35 1X day | 6/6/2014 | 3 | contraception | extremely tender breasts, bloating, breakouts, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, PMS symptoms for 2 weeks before period! | I was prescibed this contraception due to migraines and bad experiences with other progesterone only methods (cerazette and the implant) The family planning nurse advised this was a differnent type of hormone that works with your body more naturally. After the first few days of taking it i started to feel quite sick and my breasts were so sore i couldnt ever take my bra off, but after a week or so this calmed down.... temporarily! After the first few weeks i started to get severe PMS 2 weeks before my period was even due... i was then 4 days late for my period and it lasted for 7 days (normally i am on every 28 days and it last 4-5 days) I thought this was just the pill settling in but then gradually my mood swings, anxiety and general mood have got worse! My last period was a week early and lasted for a week again! I feel like i am either on my period or having severe PMS constantly! I also feel like this pill is a pain as you have to take it at the same time everyday. I think it works well as a contraception as long as you take it at the same time everyday but for me, the side effects aren't worth it! I know everyone is different so its worth trying but i think its back to natural family planning for me as nothing suits me! | F | 26 | 3 months 1X day | 5/27/2014 | 1 | Contraception | I have never written a review of this kind online before but feel so angered about the side effects of this pill (and some other POPs), that I wanted other people to be informed of my experience before making a decision to take it themselves. Without wanting to replicate/duplicate the negative mood-swing comments on here already ... by my symptoms seem to be identical to many others on here. Constant feeling of "what's the point"; suicidal thoughts, enraged anger over absolutely nothing; irregular bleeding - sometimes for weeks with no pattern at all. I didn't suffer headaches and don't believe this pill to have affected my weight. I came off Cerazette for the same reasons as above and was prescribed Micronor instead - both have very similar side effects and wouldn't recommend either! | F | 38 | 6 months 1X day | 5/27/2014 | 5 | Protection | No side effects no bloating protects me in my great sex life | F | 27 | 4 months 30mh | 5/9/2014 | 3 | birth control and migraine history | Mid cycle pain. Weight gain. Breast enlargement by 2 cups (bra shopping sucks!) delayed periods which makes me constantly think I'm pregnant. Mood swings. But so far its working. | F | 20 | 5 months | 5/8/2014 | 1 | Birth Control | Excessive weight gain - 15 pounds since taking it. Heavy,painful period,headaches daily,nausea,bloated stomach and discomfort,swollen and tender breasts,low sex drive,irratability and tirednes. | Prior to using Micronor i was using the Mirena coil but had unpleasant side effects so was was advised by GP to use this...AWFUL! The side effects were worse than the coil,stopped taking today so hopefully will start feeling normal again. | F | 44 | 8 months 1X day | 5/6/2014 | 2 | Birth Control | Anxiety and Weight gain, Loss of sex drive. | I was put on this pill by OB after birth - my body was getting back to pre-pregnancy shape until I started this pill (6weeks after birth). I have piled on the weight over 6-7mths. My GP has changed to Microlut so I hope I have better luck with that. | F | 35 | 7 months 1X day | 5/3/2014 | 1 | Birth control??? | I started taking Micronor because I have an inherited blood clotting disorder, so my doctors won't let me use anything with estrogen in it. So when I started taking Micronor, my hands broke out in a HORRIBLE itchy rash. I would get random bug bite looking things all over my hands and my god, did they itch. I could barely even sleep. I tried anti-itch cream but it barely helped at all. I freaked out for weeks, thinking I had bed bugs, but I didn't. I realized it might be the birth control. At that point, me and my boyfriend broke up so I didn't have to take the pills anymore. After a few weeks I think, all the itchy bumps went away. Not sure if I'm allergic to it or just a side effect..? | I'm getting super depressed. I can't take anything with estrogen, and I may be allergic to this. The Depo shot is really bad so I refuse to take that (my mom refuses to let me even if I wanted it). Sure there are condoms and spermicide, but you know how that goes. Condoms suck and spermicide just sounds really disgusting and a turn off.. I'm so frustrated. | F | 16 | 3 weeks 1X day | 4/8/2014 | 2 | Birth control/ migraine | Mood changes. Serve bloating and weight gain. Period every 2 weeks or heavy spotting. I went on it after my daughter was born and had a lot diffierent side effects like no mood changes no weight gain no Periods for the first year. Then after my son was born I have all of the side effects I listed at the beginning. Iam so bloated and gained so much weight I am always taking test to make sure am not pregnant . | F | 23 | 3 years 28mg | 3/25/2014 | 2 | birth contro | Bloating acne pms lasting 2 weeks gassy stomach I never thought this was linked to micronor but after reading these reviews I'm stopping it today had very regular periods with no spotting but was happy enough until I started to think was my crazy sugar cravings all linked to microcor I now believe it is after reading these reviews sometimes bloating so bad I thought I was pregnant also very greasy skin find it very hard to lose weight even though I follow weight watchers definitely stopping this pill today | F | 38 | 3 years | 3/7/2014 | 1 | birth control/suffer from migraine | Mood swings, bad skin, Weight gain, hair loss, irregular and very painful periods. Tender boobs, bloating....Was on cerazrette but had to change because of irregular bleeds which was a shame as it was ideal. Started taking micronor and the last 2-3years have been awful. Full of pregnancy tests, scans for cysts or fibroids & pain. Have now had IUD fitted (without hormones!) 2 weeks ago and feel free of hormones and cramping, bit of light spotting but it's good just not feeling so down and argumentative and fat! :) | F | 41 | 3 years 1 x Day | 2/24/2014 | 4 | I couldn't take any other pill | After Femulen was discontinued (I loved this pill -no periods, no mood swings, no cramps etc) my doctor put me on Micronor as I can't take oestrogen tablets due to the migraines I used to have. The first couple of months, I saw my period come back for about ten days every two weeks and I started to get the nausea etc. I am now just finishing month three and things appear to have settled down, no period for over a month now and the nausea has gone. Fingers crossed it stays that way!! | F | 27 | 1 days | 2/9/2014 | 2 | prevent pregnancy/migrains | I started Micronor back in 2009 recommened to me bc I can't take other types of birthcontrol with estrogen in them due to my sever migrains . The first 3 years i was on it, it was amazing! Never had a period again after I took the first pill! Woooo-Whooo! No periods! Who wouldn't love that...untill ur constatly freaking out thinking your pregnant (when your not) spending unnessasry money on tests & freaking my fiance & myself out for no reason. Other than that I was in love with the pill, no cramps, no periods, no mood swings, no change in sex drive.....was the perfect pill....atleaset i thought lol | When my fiance & I took a break I got off birth control completely but then when we got back together I immediatly got back on the micronor. This time around it was a COMPLETELY different experience. I would have a period (full on period) every 2 weeks and be spooting the other 2 weeks so basically i had a period all month long for about 3months then outta no where its gone! Havent had a period in 4 months now. They warned me about periods being irregular but its driving me crazy, im so so bloated taken a bunch of preg test all negative (thank god) but if I'm not pregnant why am i continually gaining weight, so bloated none of my clothes fit, severly depressed, and anxiety through the roof. Moody, insomnia bad, cant sleep, then tired all day. feel depressed, fat, ugly, no self worth, pain in lower back, sore breasts....really wish I would have come, isolating myself. Its been really bad I thought I was going crazy but now after reading all these glad to know I'm not crazy & its probably the pills. I am going to the dr next week to make sure im 100% not pregnant (fingers crossed for me that im not) & stopping these pills asap! | F | 27 | 4 years 30 1X day | 1/25/2014 | 1 | Contraception | Depression ,anxiety ,aggression and acne within 6 days of taking it | F | 41 | 6 days 1X day | 1/22/2014 | 1 | Not sleeping mood changes bloated sore Brest bleeding every two weeks never felt so depressed I would not recommend it | F | 29 | 5 months 30 | 1/20/2014 | 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 | 1 | migraines & endometriosis | psychotic episodes// suicidal feelings// PREGNANCY// miscarriage// violent mood swings// insomnia// daily panic attacks// thyroid imbalance// EXCESSIVE HAIR LOSS// never ending bleeds for weeks & months at a time// androgens in this pill caused painful regular cystic acne on chin// | asked to be taken off this pill after 3 months of side effects listed. was told to continue. side effects became more severe over time. took pill at exact same time daily (alarm on my phone) only to discover i miscarried at 12 weeks. did not know i was pregnant. went to doc last week regarding these persistent effects only to find i have massive cysts on my left ovary now. cysts that did not exist on my left ovary 8 months ago. i was told this was better than cerazette. is pill is awful. i won't even get in to how this pill mentally debilitated me. ladies, if your mind or body tell you micronor is wrong, listen to yourself. doctors do not understand this medication fully, as my left ovary will verify. | F | 33 | 8 months 1X day | 1/13/2014 | 1 | high blood pressure. heavy periods | Headaches.

Thank god for a very patient mate | F | 40 | 2 months 1 a day | 12/27/2013 | 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.
