| 4 | Birth Control | None | I take Micronor because I cannot take the combination pill. I have had no problems with it for the past year. The key is to take it at EXACTLY the same time every day. Set your cell phone alarm and take it. | F | 23 | 1 years 1X day | 9/22/2010 | 3 | Birth Control | Switched from patch to Micronor. Since, I have an increase Sex drive. I wake up in the morning with urges to have an orgasm. Have not notice other side effects. | F | 47 | 20 days .35mg 1X day | 9/21/2010 | 1 | birth control | Until recently, I would have said this was great birth control. This was the first BC I've ever taken. I chose it because I didn't want the health risks of combined estrogen pills, especially since there's a history of reproductive cancer in my family. I will say that the first 6 weeks or so were a little rough -- breast tenderness; sometimes felt a littel nauseous - but on the whole not bad. (And I knew to expect that any hormonal pill would cause some changes). After that - it was great. I didn't experience any of the mood swings that others have reported. I really think for this pill to work, you have to take it at the exact time every day (within a 10 minute window). That said, I'm stopping it because it recently started causing significant hair loss -- 80+ hairs after every shower. What I didn't realize is that if you have ANY kind of family history of thinning hair, you shouldn't take ANY kind of hormonal birth control (per the recommendation of the American Hairloss Association | F | 29 | 7 months 35 1X day | 9/17/2010 | 2 | contraception | bleeding constantly for 10 days than break about week and again...also hair loss, mood swings and tiredness | Am so not happy with this. 10 days periods are just too long and tiring and break last only week. if it does not settle down...i will stop this pill as there is no point to take in it with all it brings. to the lady who said that micronor is great and others should look for other reasons for their problems, well surely 80% of people on here are not telling tales! Anyway, I would not recommend this to anyone. | F | 32 | 3 months 1X day | 9/2/2010 | 1 | Birth control | Hair loss, no period, irratibility, bloating, cramps | Would not reccommend this pill | F | 48 | 2 months 1X day | 8/31/2010 | 3 | endometrial hyperplasia/b.c. | Extreme fatigue, brain fog, bloating, stomach pain, minor hair loss (about 40-50 strands per day instead of around 20) | Hope the side effects lessen after my body adjusts!! | F | 33 | 12 days .35 1X day | 8/30/2010 | 1 | Bith contole | mood swing, headache, insomnia, bloating, no sex drive. Mood swing is very very bad side effect, you will act like monster for your family. I haven't been such a bad moody person until I started taking it. It may cause divorce. | It perfectly worked for birth control, so I have to satisfy, but I can't satisfy of side effect. | F | 31 | 14 months 1X day | 8/27/2010 | 1 | Dr. Said it would be better for me | I am confused this pill has had me on a roller coster. I will give me the worst head aches in the world and it would also make my bp really go up. Some months i would have the worst cramps in my body but just a little spotting, but no cramps and you would think some one has cut me open, I would have blood clots that were so bad that i would soke a pad and a tampon in and hour, and they would be the super plus, pad and tampons. I haven't had the problem with eating, its just hard to lose weight, i have been put on diet pills from the Dr, and walked and cut all the drinks, fried foods and nothing, not even 5lb have moved,i really want to get off the pill but i have tried every thing and my ob said the next thing is to have a hysterectomy and i really want to have a nother child i only have 1 and im 30 so if we dont have another 1 in the next 2 years im gonna come off it. | I would not suggest this pill to any one.... | F | 30 | 2 years 1X day | 8/27/2010 | 1 | Breastfeeding | Heavy bleeding for 7-8 days then 4 days off no bleeding and so on. Headaches, tiredness, cranky. | Its horrible and makes you feel weak all the time. Constantly having a very heavy period makes it hard for me to want to do anything except lay in bed depressed. | F | 22 | 4 months 1X day | 8/26/2010 | 1 | birth control | Started taking micronor and taken at the same time every day. Headaches from day one,heavy spotting by day three,onset of utter depression and the worse thing was I grew three painful spots the siz of boils on my chin in as many days and I had never suffered with bad skin until this time. I had black circles under my eyes like I have never seen and I looked like I had aged 50 years overnight. I also felt like I was on a constant caffeine rush and I could not sleep a wink | All of the above disappeared within two days of ceasing to take micronor, however the withdrawal bleeding is heavy and painful.I would not recommend this product under any circumstances, I have taken other bcp since the age of twenty and have never suffered such side effects to this extent. | F | 35 | 7 days 350microgr 1X day | 8/26/2010 | 1 | birth control | weight gain, bloating, major mood swings, depressed, hair loss, and headaches | Definitely would not recommend this pill to anyone! I was put on it after I had my son because I was breastfeeding and I just stopped taking it yesterday due to all the terrible side effects. It sucks! | F | 23 | 40 days 1X day | 8/24/2010 | 1 | Contraception | 10 days period, 4 days free, then 10 days period and on and on | F | 23 | 5 months 1X day | 8/23/2010 | 5 | Contraception | Ive had a little breast tenderness and some very very light spotting. | I had the Implanon taken out due to horrible emotional problems. Since taking Micronor I havent had any mood swings. I am using condoms as well incase of any "accident". I think this is a great pill. The only downside I think is the short window it does have to be effective. IOther then that it has been wonderful. | F | 21 | 2 weeks .35mg 1X day | 8/16/2010 | 1 | Cannot take estrogen | Constant hunger, initial irregular bleeding,low sex drive, bloat, constipation. | When I took this a couple years ago before I had my son I had a great experience with this drug. Now my biggest issue is the constant hunger and nothing satisfies my appetite. I am literally starving all day long. At first I did bleed irregularly but now I am back on track 2 1/2 months in. Not everyone will react the same, unfortunately this pill will not work for me. Tonight at 7PM, not 6:59 or 7:01 =)I will be skipping my pill and look forward to getting back to normal, the side effects aren't worth it to me. | F | 31 | 3 months .35 mg 1X day | 8/11/2010 | 3 | birth control | Not taking it on time: Irregular bleeding all the time, loss of sex drive. Taking it on time: No bleeding, no other side effects. | I've just figured this pill out. You have to take it at EXACTLY the same time every day. eg. I take it at 8:59am precisely. (An alarm on my phone reminds me.) For the first few months I was taking it within the 3 hour time window, but not usually at the same time each day. I had very little sex drive and didn't feel too great as a result. I'd bleed for about two weeks out of every month, at random times. 9 days on, 4 days off, 3 days on, 7 days off, 13 days on, 5 days off, .... Now I'm taking it on time each day and my sex drive is back to normal. All bleeding has stopped. As a test, I took the pill erratically (as I used to) for a couple of days. And lo and behold, I started bleeding and felt awful. So take the pill AT EXACTLY THE SAME TIME. You've been told! | F | 20 | 7 months 1X day | 8/10/2010 | 3 | I can't take estrogen | Heavy to moderate bleeding, slight mood swings. | While I was on depo, I gained at least 30lbs. I asked for a change of birth control, and so far, I have been happy. I will admit, the first couple of weeks, there was heavy spotting, but it lessened the cramps, and it has also been easier to drop weight. I was emotional, but I am very sensitive to hormones and just got over it. I think if you are sensitive to estrogen, and are unhappy with the weight gain from Depo, this may be something to consider. I see that most woman aren't crazy about this pill, but sadly, that is the risk with hormones. | F | 21 | 1 months 1X day | 8/4/2010 | 5 | migraines on combined pill | No period for 7 monthes | I am sorry to say this but I feel a lot of the side affect people have explained here have nothing to do with the pill and possibly people are using micronor as a simple excuse as to why there lifes are so "miserable" I have been on micronor for 8 mnths.. The first month I had a period after that I have not . I feel great no headachs sex drive great as it always has been! I reccomend this pill to anyone who suffers migraines .. And for the rest of you with all these "symptoms" you may wanna look at some other reasons why your expiriencing them . | F | 20 | 8 months 1X day | 7/31/2010 | 1 | Age 49 GP won't give combipill | Bloating, hair loss, itchy skin, spots/lumpy skin. One heavy period after 40 days then another lighter one 2 weeks later | I am stopping it today - have given it a fair trial but wish I hadn't been prescribed it | F | 49 | 3 months 1X day | 7/28/2010 | 2 | contraception | Migraines, blurred vision, occasional pains and uncomfortable feeling in legs, out of character mood swings, paranoia, depression, lack of concentration, weight gain, swollen belly, breast tenderness | This pill may be ok for some people, certainly not for me. I have been angry, paranoid, depressed, irritable, overly emotional- all very out of character for me. I have gained weight quickly although eating healthier in an attempt to avoid weight gain. | F | 25 | 5 weeks 1X day | 7/27/2010 | 3 | BP | headaches & depression & anger issues | Have not had a single period since starting this pill over 3 months ago and Happily have had an increase in libido :) was on combo pills for years and finally figured out I have estrogen sensitivity(thought I was crazy) still have headaches, mild depression and anger issues with major weight gain. I can/will deal with most of this.. is better than being pregnant again. | F | 32 | 3 months 1X day | 7/24/2010 |
