| 1 | Contraception | This was recommended to me by GP whilst I was breast feeding. Started this particular contraception immediately after my return home from delivering my baby. When my son was 8 weeks old I unfortunately had to cease breastfeeding and was in the process of changing to a different pill, BUT MY PERIODS NEVER CAME. YEP, YOU GUESSED IT, I WAS PREGNANT (and I never missed taking one pill and always took it the same time). I am now 6 weeks pregnant (my son is only 14 weeks old). | Would not recommend the minipill to anyone. I certainly did not want to fall PREGNANT so soon after my son was born. Particularly when he was born by Emergency Caesarian and things were still trying to heal properly. | F | 35 | 3 months 35mg 1X day | 2/1/2012 | 1 | to regulate cycle | VERY bad mood, anxiety+++++, feeling negative and depressed....get mad at anything, for no reason.......VERY bad feeling......and all that in only 3 weeks...... | would not recommend it to my worst enemy....... | F | 39 | 3 weeks 1X day | 2/1/2012 | 1 | Contraception | Very frequent periods that last for 9 to 10 days, usually 3 weeks apart from start date to start date. Have been having my period for the last 16 days. Looks like it is going to stop then starts back up again. Feel moody all the time almost like having constant "pms". Was prescribed this medication as I have high blood pressure. Would rather take my chances of pregnancy than continue. | F | 37 | 90 days 1X day | 2/1/2012 | 1 | Nursing | Heavy periods every other week, hair loss, darkening skin above upper lip, oily hair, inability to lose weight.. | F | 26 | 2 months | 2/1/2012 | 1 | contraception | Sooo unhappy and feel depressed. Started taking it 6weeks after my daughter was born- recommended by doctor because I was breast feeding. Before pregnacy I was 61kg during pregnancy 70kg and after I gave birth went back to my pre pregnancy weight. Now I weigh 74kg and hate myself. Only now I realise how miserable and grouchy I have been these pass 2years. Emotional, constantly hungry and really bad oily skin, spotting and hair loss. I have decided to stop now and not use any contraception at all. Been with my partner 6years and will jus have to go back to condoms. I rather the inconvience with condoms then the torture I have put my body through! | F | 27 | 2 years | 1/28/2012 | 1 | Bc | Insomnia, bloating, gas, headaches, cramps, I want to eat constantly, no sex drive , the absolute worst psychotic depressive nutso mood swings, from laughing to crying to screaming and the most painful lumpy breasts ever! I could go on & on! | I can't wait to get to the dr. I'm over this crap! | F | 37 | 14 weeks 1 1X day | 1/24/2012 | 1 | birth control | Periods every two weeks, forgetfulness, mild panic attacks, emotional, not acting like myself, anxious, cramps all the time, crying all the time. | I have decided to go off the pill today!! I hate this pill i have been on my period for 3 weeks now and its been terrible.. I have had high anxiety for the last week and im tired of not feeling like myself.. I know the doctor might tell you its not the pill but it probably is!! | F | 20 | 7 months 1X day | 1/23/2012 | 1 | Headaches, irregular | constant period, fogginess, vision problems, dizziness, gas, wierd body feelings, VERY tired all the time, no sex drive | I took this for bad migraines that my doc figured was hormone related. headaches went away but still get a dull one. iv been on it for 5 months now and have yet to have a day without breakthrough bleeding. which really sucks but my doc is convinced its normal and i should stick it out. no sex drive. also noticed alot of snow vision (which im starting to think is related), fogginess, very tired, acne, cramping, trouble concentrating, feeling like my head is too full of blood (high blood pressure?), sharp random stabbing pain down there. its really a toss up for me right now whether i want the headaches back or to continue feeling like crap. | F | 23 | 5 months .35 mg 1X day | 1/10/2012 | 2 | Birth Control | Fire-like breast pain, extreme tenderness, bloating, irritability, CONSTANT PERIODS and they have been abnormally heavy! | I took Micronor in college for four years and I loved it. I was prescribed this pill due to once having migraines. The Dr. said that because of my migraine history, I would have to take Micronor because of it's low dosage of estrogen. When I took it back then, I had NO periods, it was great since usually they are quite painful. I stopped taking it thinking I should have a period and started taking in recently again for the purpose of birth control. I get my period every week, spotty and then extremely heavy. I have never had a period SO heavy before. I also had a migrain last week and I haven't had a migraine since 2007. I am not saying it is because of the pill, but you never know. Also, my breast hurt daily and feel like they are on fire! I am more sensitive and tired as well. I have not noticed hair loss or weight gain, thankfully. I think I may need to schedule an appointment with my gyno! | F | 26 | 2 months 1X day | 1/9/2012 | 1 | Breastfeeding, birth control. | Weight gain, bloating, constant hunger, irritatbility. | I am a fitness instructor and exercised both cardio and weight lifting throughout both my pregnancies. I gained 29 pounds with my last baby (born 11-1-11) and went back to the gym after 2 weeks (with doc's permission). I had dropped 20 pounds by that time. I started Micronor after my 5 week checkup and the progress I had been making (both what I could "feel" and see on the scale) began regressing. It didn't take even 2 weeks for me to realize the fact that the weight gain and bloating started when I started taking Micronor. I am switching to a different BC pill this week. I am SO angry and SO frustrated with this. I've spent everyday of the last two weeks crying when I tried to get dressed, completely confused as to why my belly was swelled up like I was 6 months pregnant again. I'm sure everyone's body reacts differently, but I can definitely say that I will not take another dose of Micronor ever again. | F | 30 | 3 weeks 1X day | 12/28/2011 | 1 | Combo pill gave me migraines | No period for 5 months after stopping! | I have been on the pill for 5 years. I have been on about 4 or so different types of pill changing for migraines and really bad period pain.. eventually my doctor said take this one you won't get migraines or period pain and granted i haven't had either! Mainly because i've had NO period. Not a single bleed. After reading the instructions to stop taking the pill after 6 weeks if no bleed i did just that...5 months later and i still haven't had a period at 19 and having originally only gone on the pill for pain not contraception I am not impressed that I've had no period and quite frankly have spent 5 months in constant fear of pregnancy or health issues. Not something i would wish on anyone else. My advice is DO NOT TAKE MICRONOR! It is by far the worst pill i've ever used and I can honestly say I have never reacted to a change in pill before. I find this very upsetting and distressing. | F | 19 | 2 months 30 1X day | 12/28/2011 | 1 | birth control | Started really well and very satisfied until I gained 2 stone and felt really sluggish despite eating well and exercising regularly. I could not shift the weight so came off it and I have still not had a period two months on (I'm not pregnant!) So really messed my body up! | F | 21 | 9 months 30mg | 12/24/2011 | 1 | Birth control | Constant bleeding, bloating, fatigue. Awful pill, will not be taking this again. | F | 23 | 3 weeks 1xday | 12/23/2011 | 3 | Irregular Periods | So far, I've been taking it for a little under a month and I plan on taking it until I figure out if it's helping or not. I started taking it because I was irregular. I'd end one period and start another from half a day to 6 months. they would last 1 day to 3 months. I've been having them since 2 days after I turned 8, I'm 21 now. The bleeding just kept getting worse and worse until the last time(right before I started taking Micronor) I bled for a little over a week and I lost almost 2 pints of blood. It was HORRIBLE. I had to do something. So far since I started taking Micronor - I was super bloated until like a week ago. Now for the last week I've been getting these super bad headachs (continued) | that feel like someone is stabbing my eyeballs with knifes. I've been super nausiated. I've been really dizzy and out of it. Like I was surrounding by fog. Super sore muscles. And my hip has been feeling like it's going to pop in and out of place - which is weird because I'm only 21 and I haven't injured it or anything. And I was bleeding right after I started taking it but since a week ago when I started with these other symptoms I've been bleeding quite a bit but thankfully not as bad as I was before. | F | 21 | 27 days 1X day | 12/21/2011 | 3 | birth control | had pain on my right side for the first 2 weeks then it went away,iam losing a litle bit more hair then usual,my mood is great no mood swings,no more painfull periods and its not heavy at all like it use to be but i got bad acne with this pill on my chest and back and my face is awfull right now ,my stomach was verry bloated at the begening but it went away | really the only thing about this pill that i hate is my acne and that i lose my hair a little bit more i will continued and see cause i have no more option for birth control this is my last | F | 25 | 1 months 1X day | 12/14/2011 | 1 | migraines with aura& awful periods | Continuous and normally heavy bleeding for just over 3 months! Really sore breasts, awful moods swings, weight gain, bloated and gassy, unable to deal with situations that normally wouldn't phase me, incredibly emotional. | F | 27 | 9 months 1xD | 12/14/2011 | 3 | Birth Control | was fine for first 3 months except I got acne. It helped with my painful periods. Gained 10lbs despite eating healthy and lots of activity. Better sex drive. At month 4 been spotting for 24 days now. ugh | F | 26 | 4 months 1X day | 12/12/2011 | 2 | Nursing | Bad mood swings , acne, oily face, | F | 21 | 8 months 35mg | 12/9/2011 | 3 | contraception | very bad mood swings, getting angry for no reason, especially with my boyfriend, bloating, always being tired and sleepy | i thought i was going crazy. after 3 months i got so stressed, i can easily start crying or being very angry, act like mad, punch the walls etc. not all the time, maybe 2-3 times a month. but its really hard to deal with it. i didnt gain weight, or spots. my face looks better now. but body skin, such as hands and legs got really dry. it would be a perfect pill if it didnt make me so angry sometimes | F | 24 | 3 months 0.35 1X day | 12/8/2011 | 1 | Had to take because of migraines | Heavy, heavy periods, had now for 10 days, bad mood swings, sore breasts, low to no sex drive | Since taking it I noticed my bad mood swings and extremely sore breasts....didn't think much of it till I have seen everyones comments and realizing I'm not the only one! My period has lasted now 10 days (my normal period lasted 7) and it's so extremely heavy that i cannot sleep because I'm worried of leaking so bad..ugh this is awful! | F | 22 | 7 months 1X day | 12/8/2011 |
