| 1 | nursing | bleeding for a month, weight gain, no sex drive | F | 27 | 3 months | 6/19/2007 | 5 | cramping, high blood pessure | periods completley stopped | been off pill 7 weeks now trying to conceive but still not had a period | F | 23 | 20 months | 6/15/2007 | 1 | birth control | Bloating . depression, loss of periods, terrible nausea, lethargy, spots, dry skin | I have just thrown them in the bin after taking these pills for about 9 months, the side effects made me ill. Never again. I had very bad continuous bleeding at first, now my periods have stopped!" | F | 48 | 9 months | 6/13/2007 | 1 | birth control | Horrible side effects. Have definitely taken my last one today. Bloating, no periods, feel pregnant all the time, night sweats, acne, heavy bleeding for weeks, then nothing at all for months. dry skin, depression. | Never would I take this pill again. It has totally messed up my body. | F | 45 | 6 months | 6/13/2007 | 4 | Fibroids & heavy bleeding | No weight gain/loss. Very minimal breast tenderness the first month. No acne and way more energy from the estrogen domaniance. Much better than the combo bill I was on years ago for 8 yrs. I would get back migranes before my period. I am spending my time posting to help someone. It seems that only negative results are always posted on these things. The medicine helped me a lot. I am still deciding what to do about my fibroids and heavy bleeding, but this is a bridge for me now. | I asked my Dr. for it and he said that it wouldn't help. But it has. I do however still get a heavy period, but it has never been as other women's horry stories. My PAIN is what has really, really improved. I would have pain about 5 days before and some days after with pain. Also, during the middle of my cycle was unpleasant. The only reason for a rating of 4 instead of 5 is because the bleeding didn't reduce. Definitely worth the try. Please if anyone has info on lupron, LET ME KNOW! | F | 41 | 2 months | 6/7/2007 | 5 | Age/no longer able to take estrogen | Mild bloating. Weight gain for me associated with not pushing myself away from table. | No period in the 3 months I have taken. No real side effects. If you are estrogen intolerant this could be the BCP for you. | F | 49 | 3 months | 6/6/2007 | 2 | birch control | weight gain, emotional, irregular period, and heavy bleeding. | When I first started the pill I rarely had a period, but now for the past four months or so I have been having my period every other week practically, very frustrating. My doctor said I would need to take this because of my migraines, but my migraines haven't gone away. | F | 21 | 1 days | 5/30/2007 | 2 | Birth Control | I have been on this pill for two weeks and have taken myself off it. I was prescribed it b/c of high blood pressure. I have been VERY emotional and finally contributed this to the Micronor (never had adverse reactions to any other BC pills before). I was frustrated, irritated, slight bouts of depression, easily angered, on the verge of tears over silly things...my poor boyfriend! I'll just do without, thanks! | I know this pill contains no estrogen, but I'm wondering if it also interacts with the estrogen producted in our bodies (suppressing it?), thus adversely reacting with our hormones? I definitely did not feel normal...here it is the day after I stopped taking them and I feel better already... | F | 27 | 17 days | 5/24/2007 | 4 | Nursing/Birth Control | I haven't had a period since i started, haven't gained any weight, increased sex drive (weird thing, since I'm not a very "active" person) and again no periods yet, Love this pill so far. | I did get a migrane once and I don't know if it was because the pill. | F | 24 | 2 months | 5/16/2007 | 5 | Didn't want Estrogen | Gained 18 pounds in 6 months. Seriously reduced my eating intake and increased exercise. Weight has now levelled off to 10lbs gained. Not had a period in almost 3 years...I am 33!!! A little panicky during the first year with no periods, but as the doctor assures me, if you take this pill within 3 hours every single day, you will not get pregnant. No mood swings, no cramping, NO Periods, I love it!!! My 15 year old daughter is on a combo pill and she gets periods like clockwork. She really hates that I don't get them at all anymore. | I would suggest Minocycline daily for the acne, this can be prescribed by a doctor. I love this BC!!! | F | 33 | 4 years | 5/10/2007 | 2 | nursing | Bloating, weight gain, period once in 3 months, heavy period | I started taking this pill while nursing. Feel really bloated, started GAINING weight even though eat healthy and exercise regularly...gained 10-15 lbs. Paranoid about pregnancy since periods so irregular and when I did get a period, it was very heavy. Plan on getting off of it soon. | F | 4 months | 5/5/2007 | 2 | I need birth control I am diabetic | lots of weight gain , dr took me off depo to go on this micronor every month i have more weight gain | I have to take birth controll because diabeties is out of control and could hurt a baby, and I am a brand new grandma. | F | 43 | 2 years | 5/4/2007 | 3 | breastfeeding my son | Nothing when I took this after the birth of my son. With my daughter, just felt blah for a bit. | I took it up until he was 10 months old (he was only nursing once a day just before bed), then I realized I was pregnant. My ob/gyn told me after that that the micronor only works if you are fully breastfeeding. Thanks for the info now. i thoroughly read the instructions and no where does it say that. I have half a mind to sue micronor if that is the case. With my daughter, I really do not like it anymore, I am ready to stop taking it. Not sure if it is actually worth taking if it doesn't work except when you are breastfeeding I took it about 10 months with each child though i went off of it when I was pregnant | F | 22 | 20 months | 4/20/2007 | 1 | Migraines | I have had one period in 6 months. About 5 months into taking micronor my back and neck started to break out. By the 6 month my entire back was covered with little pimples. I experienced mild depression. | I stopped taking it the 6 month. | F | 23 | 6 months | 4/8/2007 | 5 | Birth Control | When taking estrogen oral contraceptives, I would get extremely bad migraines and headaches the few days before and the days during my period combined with extreme moodiness - these are the reasons I swtitched to micronor. Since being on Micronor, I have experienced both weight gain and loss (ranging from 123-135, but that primarily correlated to my amount of exercise/eating habits), I don't get migraines anymore and when I do get headaches they are much less severe and I don't see floaters anymore, my mood is way better, my sex drive has definitely increased, and I rarely get my period. When I am active and eating healthy and not living with 2+ other females (I'm a college student so my living situation changes a lot) I do not get it at all (periods of up to 6-7 months without my period) and when I do start having periods again they are regular and not too bad. | I love this pill, it has worked wonderfully for me. Make sure that you take it within an hour of the same time everyday (I set the alarm on my phone so I don't forget!) and it should work very well. | F | 22 | 2.5 years | 4/5/2007 | 2 | contraception while breastfeeding | After 8 days I got my period, which I found a little disconcerting as I was exclusively breastfeeding and this normally stops periods occurring. I also found myself getting very nauseous and sometimes running to the bathroom expecting to be sick. | My practice nurse and doctor never told me that the hormoes pass into the breastmilk and the effects on the baby are not known. Yet it says this on the leaflet that comes with the pill. I do not understand why this is therefore being descriobed as safe for breastfeeding. I stopped taking the pill after 8 days. | F | 34 | 8 days | 4/5/2007 | 5 | Combined pill | periods lastest 4 days and were very light. i have also been able to skip periods easily without bleeding or pain. Currently no other side effects. | F | 15 | 1 years | 4/3/2007 | 5 | Estrogen Intolerant | mild bloating, night sweats | If you are sensitive to estrogen, this is the pill for you! Regular birth control caused me anxiety, mild depression, and horrible cramping the entire month. I have never felt better. Besides some mild bloating and night sweats, that gets better as I am on it longer, I have no complaints! | F | 23 | 3 months | 4/1/2007 | 5 | estrogen intorlarant | none | Great pill no problems at all | F | 33 | 11 years | 3/29/2007 | 4 | birth control | period about every 2-3 months. 10 pound weight loss. no breast tenderness. however, I have noitced that it affects my moods. | F | 20 | 12 months | 3/28/2007 |
