MICRONOR  (NORETHINDRONE):  This medication is used to prevent pregnancy. It is often referred to as the "mini-pill" because it does not contain any estrogen. Norethindrone (a form of progestin) is a hormone that prevents pregnancy by making vaginal fluid thicker to help prevent sperm from reaching an egg (fertilization) and changing the lining of the uterus (womb) to prevent attachment of a fertilized egg. If a fertilized egg does not attach to the uterus, it passes out of the body. This medication also stops the release of an egg (ovulation) in about half of a woman's menstrual cycles. While the "mini-pill" is more effective than certain other methods of birth control (such as condoms, cervical cap, diaphragm), it is less effective than combination hormone (estrogen and progestin) birth control because it does not consistently prevent ovulation. It is usually used by women who cannot take estrogen. To reduce the risk of pregnancy, it is very important to take this medication exactly as prescribed. Using this medication does not protect you or your partner against sexually transmitted diseases (such as HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia).    (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 2  nursing Nausea that reminds me of morning sickness, loss of period... I'm constantly thinking that I'm pregnant! I look forward to being able to get off this drug. F 26 6 months

 3  contraceptive with no estrogen I've gained weight, I got my first period during the 3rd month. I've switched from tri-cyclen to micronor due to an upcoming surgery. This is not a flexible pill, you always have to be careful about taking it at the same time every day. I didn't get my period until the 3rd month, and it causes me worries about pregnancy when I don't have my periods. F 27 4 months

 4  BC-POP's due to migraine history The only side effect I've noticed is the break-through bleeding that occurs the 1st six months of taking. Now, I rarely have a period--about every third month--and I'm not complaining about that! It is a must that they be taken at the same time every single day though so you do have to be disciplined--or else there comes the break-through bleeding. I hear that it is a little bit less effective than combo bc pills. F 34 1.5 years

 3  birth control slight nausea for a few minutes every few days. complete stop of my period after 5months. take this if you have had visual migraines like me. if you don't have a good reason for taking this, i would recommend a combination drug because this drug stops your period and it is freaky not knowing if you are pregnant or not.... F 21 7 months
