"I've been on this medicine for 2 weeks now. The only thing I've noticed so far is that I did bloat a lot more than usual during my period. I also have little head aches almost everyday, but they only last for 10 minutes at most. I've managed to eat a pint of ice cream every single night and still loose weight. The only downfall of this medicine is it makes me very angry."

"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 post parting 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."

"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."

"I started this at 5 months postpartum and instead of losing weight I gained it even while eating low carb and zero to no sugar I've gained 10 pounds ! With being postpartum you already don 't like your new body let alone being the same weight you were they day you gave birth to your 9.2 pound baby ! Will stopping this soon! To see if I can lose weight ! Also if I’m even 2 hours late I bleed out (scared my boyfriend when he saw the amount of blood in the toilet!) Horrible birth control for my body"

"I was put on Nora-be because I was having ocular migraines and have symptoms of raynauds phenom, apparently these are contraindications for the combo bc pill. Unfortunately, I have had quite a few issues on the Nora be. First, mood lability, and as another writer posted, my fianc"

"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 what I was on previously."

"I began taking this BC Pill because I was breastfeeding. I am no longer breastfeeding. While on Nora-BE I had a lot of painful acne and breakthrough bleeding. I had to wear a pad every day and especially after intercourse. On a good note it definitely prevented pregnancy."

"I was on this birth control to help my heavy cramps and bleeding on my period. I bled every single day for months, so I had to use a liner everyday. It didn’t do anything for my acne, I lost my appetite, and lost weight when I didn’t want to. Now I have my period three times a month and it’s just as painful every time. I’ve been on the pill for almost 11 months."

"At first, it was the best. Then, having taken it again after a while of not being on it, the side effects were more visible. I began to break out more, weight gain very quickly, and always bloated. Bleeding has been such a nuisance."

"I'm on day 4 of Nora Be... I started the first day of my period. I am verrrry sensitive to all medicines. I thought this would be a good option. Since combination pills made my hair fall out. Day 4 and I've notice reoccurring headaches.... I know it's a side effect listed. Birth control makes me cry... It's 2018 why haven't we found a more natural form. The Copper IUD was horrible as well I don't recommend it at all I thought it was "natural" but it's not. Other than Nora Be I like it but the head aches suck. Maybe I just need to exercise...."

"I have been using Nora-Be since I was 15. I am now 20 years old and have had nothing but a positive experience. I honestly don't notice any changes at all to my mood, weight, or anything. It has helped clear up my skin and my cramps, which is the reason why I was put on the medication. I have only ever used this birth control, and I do not plan on ever switching over!"

"This birth control pill has been okay! I've been on it for exactly two years after switching from a combination pill due to some high blood pressure. I experienced irregular periods, low libido, painful sex, and some weight gain in the first year. My doctor said this was likely all from this pill and suggested I go back to the combination pill. I wanted to stick it out. Cut to now, another year later, and I am going to a combination pill. My PMS symptoms have come back in full force on this pill not to mention I am SO bloated all the time and I am losing my hair. I never lost my period on this pill, in fact, it helped them become regular again, so I'm thankful for that part. My skin is also SUPER clear. I think that since this pill is progestin only, I now have too low of estrogen levels and my body isn't sure what to do with the extra progestin. Also you must take it on time. If I didn't, I'd get my period THE next day no matter what. Not the worst pill I've taken."
