For Birth Control "While this pill did prevent pregnancy, it hurt everything else. I started taking this around 6 weeks after having my daughter. I was prescribed this pill because I was pumping breast milk. All postpartum bleeding had stopped. Then I took this for the first time and had extreme cramps similar to contractions. I then had heavy bleeding for almost 3 months. Along with that bleeding came cramps, nausea, migraines, and fatigue. After the bleeding stopped, I never got another period. It was to the point that I thought I may have been pregnant because it also caused tender breasts, nausea, and fatigue. It also gave me a lot of acne, which is something I never had an issue with before. I stopped taking this pill today and am already experiencing heavy bleeding and awful cramps. While I know birth control works differently for everyone, I strongly recommend making sure this is right for you before you start taking it."

For Birth Control "I started taking this pill postpartum because I’m pumping. It’s been one week and I’m done taking this pill. I noticed within a day of taking it I started spotting, and now I have a heavy flow with terrible cramping. In addition, I feel moody and constantly have a headache. I’ll be reaching out to my doctor to be switched to something else. I would not recommend this pill to anyone."

For Birth Control "I've gotten pregnant on this twice. (Second time because I didn't realize they put me on the same one as before.) Can't lose weight. Acne is terrible. Cramping is terrible. Made my period extremely irregular."

For Birth Control "Haven't been on a pill in 8 years... Since I started it 5 weeks ago, I've gotten acne, stomach pains, cramps, but most of all, I am angry, sad, all symptoms of PPD. I have a history of depression, and that makes it highly common to experience signs of PPD, as on the side effects list of Nora-Be. I will never take this again, I have a cloud over my brain. I yell at my children, angry at my husband for having the freedom to leave without 2 kids, anxiety, paranoid. My family doesn't deserve it, and I don't deserve to feel this way just to prevent a 3rd child."

For Birth Control "I've only been on this for a few weeks, and I don't like it! I've never had the cramps as I do with this and never had cramping with my combination birth control. It's made me feel angry at times to the point I did get very angry on the phone with a person about changing pharmacies, and I've never done that. It's like you don't know when you're going to have your cycle, and once you do, it comes whenever, and it doesn't want to stop. I've got to get off this! Going to tell my doctor on Tuesday to put me back on what I was on previously."
