Necon 1/50 (mestranol / norethindrone) "I've ALWAYS had irregular periods, ever since I started. I was sent to the ER twice for severe anemia and heavy bleeding. That lead me to have in total of 10 blood transfusions. It was a complete nightmare and I couldn't allow that to happen anymore. So the doctors put me on Necon 1/50. This is my first time ever being on birth control, I was scared...reading about terrible stories and all the side effects. I was very hesitant but, I did it and I'm so glad I did!! I'm currently on week 3 and have NO SIDE EFFECTS!! Well, the classic PMS but nothing severe. Waiting on period week to make a full assessment, but so far so good. Will continue this pack and plan on lowering the dose next month."

Necon 1/50 (mestranol / norethindrone) "I was bleeding heavily for 3 months straight. I would be off my period a week then 3 more months of bleeding. This went on over a year while I tried just about every other type of bc pill. Also extreme nausea causing bad weight loss and severe abdominal pain. On this pill my period lasts 5 days once a month and is much lighter. Cramps are much better. Nausea was worse at first but went away after about a week. No crazy mood swings. I'm back up to a healthy weight. The only bad thing is it made me exhausted, especially when I first started taking it. I would literally sleep 15 hours a day if off work. Wouldn't even get up to eat. It has eased up a lot but still not back to normal energy."
