| 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 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 day | 7/27/2012 |
