| 1 | Progesterone Therapy For Seizures | The moment I started taking Micronor (which was the day of my period), my seizure frequency increased dramatically. Most people would think it would have the opposite effect, being that "progesterone has anti-convulsant effects". I stopped taking Micronor after 1 week. After stopping, my seizures have got less severe (re: went from complex partials when I lose it to simple partials where I am aware). However, five days after stopping micronor I still have frequent Simple partials (not as strong - they get better with each day I don't take it). But I average over 50 simples per day since taking this drug. The only plus is that once I stopped taking it the seizures are getting less severe. My pharmacist thinks it will take 2 months minimum for my body to re-regulate it's hormones and for me to be back to the way I was (which was only a "couple" simple partials when I ovulate). DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR SEIZURE THERAPY!! | F | 27 | 7 days | 8/3/2006 | 5 | heavy bleeding | Started Micronor because other BCPs made me sick. | I did not have any side efffects on Micronor. I took Micronor to try to control heavy bleeding. It did not help the bleeding at all, new GYN said Micronor will not help patients with heavy bleeding/irregular periods. It's great if you just need birth control because I had absolutely no side effects. | F | 33 | 6 months | 7/18/2006 | 4 | Can't take estrogen | More energy, increased sex drive, body feels stronger. Some bowel irregularity, but I'm not sure if it's because of micronor. | I normally have estrogen dominance which causes tiredness and fatigue. Since I've been taking micronor, my energy has increased and I feel much stronger, like my hormones are more balanced. And my sex drive has increased which is great. I haven't been on it long, but so far my experience has been positive. I'm looking forward to possibly not having anymore periods as well because I used to bleed heavily. I had a period the first month, but I think it's because I started taking micronor after I ovulated. So far I haven't had another one and I haven't experienced any spotting. | F | 36 | 2 months | 7/18/2006 | 5 | progesterone only | 2/3 pound weight gain (very minor) I have epilepsy and it was prescribed to increase the threshold. High progesterone-less seizures-worked very well-however, got off one month ago to plan for pregnancy and still no period and not pregnant. | I definitely would reccommend it. Everybody has different reactions to medications. I have tried just about every birth control pill out there due to my seizure meds. This one has the least side effects and interacts with the least meds. | F | 30 | 3 years | 6/18/2006 | 4 | painful ovulation/periods & endo | Generally, I feel great! I have no abdominal bloating and weight gain as I have had with combo pills. My only concern is my breast tenderness - this is rather bothersome and have grown a full cup size. | F | 37 | 3 weeks | 6/1/2006 | 3 | Birth Control | Wild periods, irregular, mood swings, tender breasts, discharge | Taking the pill at a certain time of the day is hard. My periods are supposed to have calmed down by now, but I have to give it 6 months before possibly changing. This is the second time of being on it after an 18 month break, so I know it does get better. I don't remember having a foul discharge last time though (I have checked to see if it was anything else!!) | F | 28 | 5 months | 5/19/2006 | 4 | birth control | I have been taking micronor for 4.5 months I have not experienced any thing other than my periods stopping (not a bad thing) | F | 35 | 4.5 days | 5/5/2006 | 1 | birth control | weightgain, no period for 8 months, increased acne and decreased sex drive, depression (probably due to the latter!!) | been off the pill for 3.5 weeks..still no period...getting nervous. | F | 25 | 1 days | 5/5/2006 | 1 | birth control | weightgain, no period for 8 months, increased acne and decreased sex drive, depression (probably due to the latter!!) | been off the pill for 3.5 weeks..still no period...getting nervous. | F | 25 | 1 days | 5/5/2006 | 3 | OCP | Lack of sex drive and weight gain | Combo of decreased sex drive and wieght gain - Not good!! | F | 43 | 18 months | 4/25/2006 | 3 | Birth Control | Nausea !! achy arms and legs, spotting, sore stomach, bloating, thrush. | No pattern to symptoms. Some weeks no side effects whatsoever. Other weeks I get the above symptoms - often all at once - scary as I think I may be pregnant. No weight gain or acne at all which is good. | F | 32 | 6 months | 4/18/2006 | 1 | nursing | Migraines and nausea, lack of any period. | When I stopped taking Micronor my bi-weekly migraines stopped. I started taking this when my son was born and after a year still had not had a cycle. Two months after discontinuing use (still no cycle) I discovered I was one month pregnant. | F | 31 | 1.3 years | 4/10/2006 | 4 | age | weight gain | F | 46 | 1 years | 4/4/2006 | 1 | Migraine/ contraceptive | Increased weight, tender breasts, severe acne on my chin which I cannot tolerate anymore, thrush | F | 33 | 2 days | 4/2/2006 | 2 | High BP on combination pills | Heavy and long periods (8 days!), irregular cycle, breast tenderness, Severe menstrual cramps, decreased sex drive, acne. | I have never had any PMS, now I know what PMS is. I had to stop last month as I could no longer take side effects. | F | 28 | 2 years | 2/18/2006 | 2 | been using for a year acne has got very bad on my face.not hapy at all will be getting coil fitted.as every one says why is your face full of spots it has made me lose confidence of appearance! | makes your periods irregular and less. | F | 26 | 1 years | 2/13/2006 | 3 | blood clotting problems | weight gain, more rapid hair growth | I have not gotten my period yet and it has been 7 weeks. It makes me paranoid that I may be pregnant. Taking it at the same time everyday is very difficult. | F | 31 | 6 weeks | 1/5/2006 | 3 | Nursing | Nausea, cramping, irregular periods, lack of sex-drive, fatigue | Definitely take the pill at the same time everyday. I didn't like how I constantly felt like my stomach was cramping even when I wasn't on my period. | F | 20 | 7 months | 12/10/2005 | 3 | migraine history | i'm more hairy, nausea , unregular periods (sometimes twice a month), heavy flow, i have headaches more frequently | I prefered Alesse, but I have no choice. They have to be taken at the same time everyday and I find that difficult because I have an irregular schedule. | F | 26 | 2 years | 11/24/2005 | 4 | contraception | increased acne and hairy legs | overall I am very pleased apart from occasional spottiness and definitely hairier legs. I have lost a stone in weight and am happier and more confident. i think that progesterone suits me better than oestrogen. | F | 32 | 6 months | 11/14/2005 |
