went two months without period, had all the symptoms of being pregnant, finally started period and it was severe. Severe cramping, extremely heavy bleeding, soaking pads and tampons, together. Doctor never told me of these side effects before I started taking this pill. Had to research and find out that the symptoms of pregnancy were side effects of this pill. Would not recommend this pill to anyone. Published: January 03, 2008 ::

I took this birthcontrol because I was breastfeeding my son. I have never had any of the side effects that are listed. I have been breastfeeding for 13 months now and I have even forgotten to take a pill or 2 and I am not pregnant yet. Because I was breastfeeding and taking the pill I did not get my period for 12 months. I recently started it again because my son is not nursing as much. I am very happy with my experience and will use it after I have another child! By the way, a reviewer on here said she was breastfeeding and taking the pill and didnt get her period which is because of the pill. That is a normal result for breastfeeding/pill combo. Also she lost hair. Within the first 5 months postpardom you will loose hair like crazy. Look it up on the internet because this too is normal also!! Hope this helps any people thinking of taking this pill. I know many people who have successfully taken this BC. Published: July 31, 2008 ::

My doctor put me on this pill just after having a baby.The Dr. told me that I could not get pregnant on Ortho Micronor and breastfeeding at the same time. Now my baby is six months old and now I am pregnant again. I have been taking the pill and I did not miss any pills. So no this birth control did not work for me. Published: March 28, 2008 ::

had a few more headaches, and moody when initially started then it settled down after about 6 wks. Now feel way better; and in conjunction with breastfeeding have had no period, break through bleeding or paid or cramps. Published: October 02, 2008 ::

I am so relieved to be rid of my endometriosis symptoms. I do not have periods, heavy bleeding or debilitating cramps anymore. I feel a more even hormonal mood and seem to have less incontinence while taking this pill. It seems to be a great match for my symptoms. Published: July 07, 2008 ::

After experiencing terrible side effects from other pills, my doctor put me on ortho-micronor. I have now been taking it for 3 years. I have never experienced any negative side effects from it. I have not gotten a period in over 2 1/2 years, and I don't miss it at all! My GYN assures me everything is normal and healthy with my body. I do not use another form of birth control and have not gotten pregnant. Published: June 14, 2009 ::

I switched to this birth control because i was on the patch and had horrible side effects. I don't have any side effects. My periods aren't regular but i still have them, but i am not as moody as i was on the patch i don't get the migraines i did with the patch. The only major issue I've found is that it is very hard to take it on time everyday, but so far i am not pregnant. But not every birth control is right for everyone. Published: January 29, 2009 ::

I have emdometroisis and have been on many forms of birth control. My doctor put me on this because I also get bad headaches and she thought this type of pill would be better. I HATE THIS PILL. 2 weeks into it i have break through bleeding that lasted four days and had cramps like a period. 2 weeks after that my real period came and it was heavy and I still have horrible cramps. I have gained at least 5 pounds and it has only been one month. My doctor says this is normal and I will give these pill one more mounth because I could not get a appointment in time to change before the pack was over. So maybe it will get better because this pill sucks and I can't wait to go back to my old pills. i got headaches but at least I was not getting 2 periods at once and my cramps were not this bad and my periods were not this heavey. So to all the lady's this pill has worked for God bless you because it just does not work for me. Published: September 06, 2008 ::
