Has taken me two years to figure out I'm better off without this one; my husband got a vasectomy & I'm already feeling better - more energy, no more hair loss! Would rather have a longer period than deal with the side effects. | F | 41 | 2.5 years | 11/9/2007 | 2 | bc while breastfeeding | depression | shocked by the depth of depression and dealing with a 7 month-old at that!

I had a facial yesterday and the same products my clinician used on me with no problem one week before I started micronor severely burned my skin. My face is a mess and hurts! Micronor was the only change since my last facial. I work out and eat very well. I have gained 6 pounds in 15 days. | i can't find any other birth control that will work for me. this is not it either! | F | 34 | 15 days | 9/23/2007 | 2 | Unable to take combined pill | Weight gain of 1 and a half stones (18 pounds), bloated feeling, tiredness, lack of sex drive, and worst of all TERRIBLE acne, which I never suffered from as a teen. | Am goin to give up this drug ASAP and use condoms, as it has ruined the skin on my face. I cleanse tone & moisturise twice daily yet still have terrible acne, which I believe is caused by this pill. | F | 23 | 2 years | 9/12/2007 | 5 | heavy prolonged periods not bc | all of my side effects so far have been really good. increased sex drive and sensitivity. i had one really bad headache and none since then. one light period so far. more energy.some leg pain. | so far i really have had a great experience. i worried about it a lot after reading all of this but i started taking it anyway because i couldnt stand the bleeding another day and i have been really glad so far, as long as this period stops in a timely manner i will continue to be happy. sex is great!! i must have really needed this drug. | F | 42 | 6 weeks | 9/6/2007 | 1 | birth control | terrible breast pain - i mean terrible. They swelled to twice their normal size but were very hard and unmovable as if i had implants. | i am going to book an appoinment with my gp and change my brand. i never had problems with mycrogynon. | F | 43 | 6 months | 9/1/2007 | 3 | Migraines and High Blood Pressure | Heavy and lengthy periods. Breast pain and tenderness. Weight gain - and I've changed my eating habits since seeing a cardiologist!!!! Bloating and how lovely - acne and on my scalp as well!!!! | The cardiologist changed my BP medicine and my BP is under control but I do have to say that the migraines associated with my periods are basically non-existent. But what a cost- acne, weight gain and oh, I forgot the tan/brown spots now showing up on my face....I understand this can happen at my age but all of a sudden when I start taking this medicine --- and none of my three sisters have age spots and they are 10, 12 and 13 years older. When I was a teen I didn't have acne on my scalp or even a pimple or two on my back - which I have now. The second month I bled for 16 days....I wondered where it came from and then the third month I questioned my own thinking because I never bled or even spotted. Wondering about a pregnancy test!! scary thought | F | 44 | 4 months | 8/20/2007 | 2 | Smoker | Breakthrough bleeding, feel like I am gaining weight, bloated! Almost on it one month and now am breaking out on my face like I am 18 again....Plan to stop ASAP and find another alternative after talking to my obgyn. | F | 39 | 1 months | 8/16/2007 | 3 | Breastfeeding | the negative: hairloss, no sex drive, weight gain (gained about 15 lbs bringing me from a size 2 to 6!), dizziness the positive: no period at all!! | It's great if you want to sacrifice your bodily image for no menstral cycle! As of right now I am quitting! lol | F | 24 | 4 months | 8/13/2007 | 2 | Endo, heavy periods, spotting | Weight gain (7-8 lbs) Periods went from 3 days, one of which was very very heavy, to 8 days (but light) Some face acne | Month 1 was excellent - I thought this was a miracle pill! Month 2 and 3 were not great. Although cramping did diminish, the spotting continued and 8 day period was not at all good. All in all, with the weight gain, and no real relief from my symptoms, this pill is not for me. I quit after 2.5 months and now, two weeks after stopping my cramping seems to have subsided, I no longer spot and have not had a period yet. I'm sure my body will come back to normal in no time (and that's too bad!) I don't worry about birth control - I had my tubes tied a while ago. | F | 46 | 3 months | 8/6/2007 | 2 | I was taking this for blood pressur | Very Very long periods. The first month I didn't have a period. Then, the next month my period wouldn'y stop. Bleed for days very heavy. | I was taking this because the compound bc pill made my blood pressure go up, but I would rather go back to taking it. I don't like bleeding all the time, and my husband hates it also. | F | 37 | 4 years | 8/4/2007 | 1 | birth control while partial breastf | dizziness, lightheadness, lots of hair loss (in clumps daily), leg pains, long heavy period within 5 days of taking pill, headaches, vaginal dryness, ankle pain, bloating | thought significant hair loss was due to pregnancy but realized that my son is 2 months old & hair loss began 1 week after after starting micronor. painful period, will be stopping tonight. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 7/31/2007 | 4 | birth control - high blood pressure | No side effects. seems to be working okay. Was taken off triphasel because of high blood pressure. I had headaces during the week of no pills. Now no headaches, only thing is I have not had a period in the 3 months I have been on it. I take it every morning at 9 am. | F | 41 | 3 months | 7/30/2007 | 1 | Migraines | Dont know yet?!?!?! | I am really nervous to take this. I got my first prescription tonight and by these comments...I dont want to take it now. I am getting married in September and figured out I will probably have my period then and i dont want it obviously...I am not on BC because of Migraines..but my Doc suggested this kind...I am so irregular but all these comments are so negative. I am so frustrated with BC. Nothing helps or works!!! | F | 21 | | 7/26/2007 | 1 | Nursing baby. | Headaches, 3 periods within one month of starting pill, my depression has worsened, stomach aches, hungry all of the time, grumpy, tired............
