| 4 | very emotional at first, and bled for a few weeks. However I am no longer over emotional or over sensitive. breasts quite sore at times. Periods can be irregular. | No weight gain, infact lost over half a stone. No spots. No headaches. Periods lighter and hardly any PMS any more, no period pains. Periods are sometimes a little irregular though. Sex drive not affected at all. This contraception has worked really well for us, only pain is the 3 hour window and having to remember to take the pill every day at that set time. | F | 30 | 6 months | 1/26/2010 | 2 | breastfeeding | weight gain, extreme mood swings, irritability, depression | F | 32 | 5 months | 1/26/2010 | 1 | bIRTH CONTROL WHILE BREAST FEEDING | Heavy spotting, Bleeding to the point of being admitted to emergency, hallucinations, mood swings, anxiety, neurosis. | I was prescribed this drug, and I went from having slight baby blues to a complete change of personality. I saw hallucinations, lived in terror of something harming my baby, was unable to leave my house because I was afraid my baby would die, was unable to sleep, experienced terrifying rages complete with loss of memory. I fainted several times, assaulted my husband and would cry hopelessly for hours at a time a few times a day. Was subjected to psyche evaluation and found to be completely normal. Eventually I bled so much that I had to go to emergency (blacking out, unable to walk very well) where the doctor told me to stop taking the pill immediately. 2 days after ceasing the pill the bleeding is almost gone, the panic and anxiety is gone, and I have not cried in two days. I am enjoying my baby and my life! Hoping i can lose some baby weight now! | F | 29 | 7 weeks | 1/20/2010 | 3 | migraines and auras | small weight gain, acne, random menstration within the first 3 months after that all of the symptoms seemed to have gone away. Small increase in appetite but nothing i can't fight. | F | 18 | 7 months | 1/19/2010 | 1 | Migraines with Aura | Scattered Periods - Heavy bleeding for 10+ days at a time. | To start, it didn't eliminate my Migraine with Auras. I would have periods all over the place: 3 days off, 10 days on, 5 days off, 8 days on, and so on. Longest period was 13 days long. Always had scattered spotting & never knew what to expect -threw out tons of underwear. So, I went off Micronor after 1.5 years of being on it, and then I gained 20 lbs in 4 months. Worst pill I've ever experienced. | F | 27 | 1.5 years | 1/15/2010 | 3 | endometriosis | dizzines ,lightheaded ,tired but helped with my endometriosis pain so much no weight gain , | feeling tired ,light headache , sore eyes if not for this side effect could be really good pill to treat my endometriosis pain | F | 41 | 3 months | 1/13/2010 | 5 | Migraines with aura | Some breast tenderness. No periods whatsoever, no moodiness, no cramps!!! | Been on it for 4 years now. I was previously on Tricyclen and was causing nausea and migraines with auras. I couldn't take the combo pill cause the risks of stroke was too high, eventhough I'm a non smoker. For the past 6 months I've started migraines with auras AGAIN after being free of them for almost 3 1/2 years! Going to see my GP, but hopefully it is not caused by Micronor. | F | 29 | 4 years | 1/4/2010 | 1 | painful cramps, extreme bloating | SEVERE hair loss! My doctor told me to start taking this the day my period started. The next day my period stopped and I lost a ton of hair. I stopped taking this after ONE pill and now 2 months later, about 60% of my hair is gone (thinned all around the crown) and now I have androgenic alopecia & severe anxiety and depression from the hair loss that happened so fast. Before this stupid pill, I had clear skin and silky smooth/medium fine hair and now the texture has completely changed to this awful dry/brittle feeling and it's baby fine. My skin went from oily to extemely dry all over and my cycles have been messed up since. I wish I never took this horrible pill. | Worst pill ever! | F | 29 | 1 days | 1/2/2010 | 1 | Breastfeeding, Contraceptive | decreased sex drive, major mood swings, depressed | I've been taking Jovilette (generic Micronor) for about 4 months now, since having my daughter. I've always had a healthy sex drive, nothing since I started on this pill! That was about 2 weeks postpartum....my poor fiance :(. Even though as a new mother, breastfeeding, etc can also decrease your libido...this is not normal! I am so happy one second, then hateful and angry the next. My fiance always bears the brunt of it...the poor guy tries so hard, works constantly, and does every thing I ask him to. I think he's starting to fear me-i've been so nasty! I don't know what it is, but I think it's this damn pill! I've going off of it immediately. Hopefully my sex life and personality will bounce back. I swear I love him !!! ;-) | F | 25 | 4 months | 12/16/2009 | 1 | Breastfeeding | HEAVY bleeding between periods, periods lasting 10+ days, tired, depressed, moody, possible weight gain(hard to tell after having a baby) | After reading this web site, I realized all my bleeding may be a side effect of the drug. I have been off for 5 days and already much happier. | F | 36 | 16 months | 12/16/2009 | 1 | to prevent pregnancy | I had a baby 12 weeks ago and was prescribed micronor as I'm still carrying a lot of baby weight. I have previously reacted very badly to the combined pill (moody and anxious) and having taken micronor for a week I've had the same symptoms again, only worse. Up to now I've taken being a new mum in my stride and have been getting on fine, but since starting on micronor I've been very weepy, moody and irrational so I've decided to come off it straight away for the sake of my baby and husband! I've also been experiencing mild nausea, insomnia and dizzyness - definitely not what you want when you've got a young baby to look after. | F | 30 | 7 days | 12/8/2009 | 2 | Smoker aged 36 | Headaches; breast soreness and increase in size; erratic periods; 3 hr window to take this is difficult to maintain as I travel regularly up to 13 hrs time difference! | The only reason I had to change from my old birth control (combined pill) was the slight chance of blood clots due to the fact I smoke. I keep fit regularly and have never had issues with the combined pill I was on. I also had a 12 hr window to take the tablet which suited y professional life travelling around the world. | F | 36 | 4 months | 12/6/2009 | 4 | cant have Estrogens | none so far | after reading all the comments i think this pill is just perfect for women who cant have estrogens, and all you have to do is take it on time, EXACTLY on time, and you will be fine!!!! | F | 28 | 21 days | 11/30/2009 | 3 | severe vulvodynia-worsens w/ menses | really bad body acne, gained a few pounds. | Completely stopped my periods in the first month I was on it! Within a week of taking it I got relief from my severe vulvodynia (a painful syndrome that basically feels like someone taking a metal cheese grater out of a pot of boiling water and grating it across your privates)! After 5 years of misery and numerous doctors and tests and pills....This works!! No periods also means no cramps, no lengthy periods (I used to have 11 day periods), no mood swings. It's a miracle! | F | 35 | 3 months | 11/12/2009 | 3 | birth control | i gained a few pounds but so few that im not certain that it was from the drug. my leg hair now grows so much faster than before i started taking micronor, as well as experiencing nipple hair. | F | 23 | 1 years | 11/4/2009 | 5 | Bc, high blood pressure | Slight headaches, spotting | Micronor has been good to me for 2 1/2 years. Unfortunately High blood pressure runs in my family but with a healthier diet, exercise and micronor on my side I havent had issues. I dont get cramps or migraines like I used to and the best part about this pill is not having a period! Thats fine by me! | F | 22 | 2 years | 11/2/2009 | 2 | birth control | rage, irritability, depressed, no libido | Micronor is my 7th type of oral birth control I have tried. I thought i was sensitive to estrogen, hence trying the micronor. I have been on it for 1 month now and i have never been so irritable in my life. I have a very short temper on this right now, I don't like it! | F | 24 | 30 days | 10/29/2009 | 1 | Birth control while breastfeeding | depression, anger, cramps, bloating | omg, I was such a happy person before taing this pill, I have only been taking it for 4 days and in the last few days my mood has changed 100%!! I started hating my husband, and every time my daughter would start crying I would start wishing I had never had had a baby..I haven't thought that ever. Not to mention, I haven't been sleeping well and neither has my baby, I think the hormones pass right to her. I was taking orth tri cyclen before I was pregnant and it was great but this stuff is horrible and I wouldnt recommend it for any woman out there! | F | 24 | 4 days | 10/26/2009 | 1 | Endometriosis | Weight gain, severe mood swings, anger , burst into tears for no reason, no intrest in life..... | I wish I had found this site sooner, have been taking for 4 months now and have never felt so low and wothless in my entire life, would rather suffer the worst periods and pains than caay on like this, So in the bin they go !!!! | F | 38 | 4 months | 10/24/2009 | 1 | contraceptive while breastfeeding | dizziness, anxiety, sore breasts, reduced milk production, bleeding, bloating/abdo pain | This may be co-incedence (9 week postpartum)but since starting micronor last week I have had all these new symptoms...my first period, dizziness especially in the morning, bloating/cramping, anxiety that keeps me awake (as any breast feeding mum will tell you it would take a truck driving through your bedroom to keep you awake normally), and worse of all my baby is way more fussy at the breast and needs to feed more frequently and longer. It is possible that a number of these symptoms can be attributed to getting my period back, but I am not willing to take any chances and am coming off this pill. The thought of getting pregnant again any time soon is a nightmare, but sex is very important to me so it will be careful use of condoms for now and possibly consider the non hormone IUD. | F | 36 | 7 days | 10/24/2009 |
