Noriday pill reviews

I trialled this for nearly a year because usually things settle down but this one never did. The worse side effect for me was the extremely painful and heavy periods lasting a full week! I also gained a lot of weight without realising - about a stone in the year I was on it. Would not advise this one!

Terrible. I had the sorest breasts I have ever had. I work out daily and still put on weight even though I was carefully monitoring food. It went on so quick I went up a dress size in almost a week

Only progestogen based contraception I've been able to tolerate. Allll others (pills, jab, implant, coil) made me bleed irregularly and made me moody. This one has been fine, over a year in use and though periods were a little less regular, they were about on time. I did start getting some extra bleeding around 9-12 months after starting it, but I think my body is just weird. I did still ovulate while taking, but it still prevented pregnancy. Did gain some weight but could have been a result of lockdown and inactivity rather than the pill. Did have some stomach issues, but was diagnosed with ins a long time ago, which has been okay for years now, so possibly related. Was getting a bit moody here and there, again, maybe not related to the pill. Overall I was satisfied with the experience, unlike the others I've tried. Stopped taking due to getting sterilised instead.

Only two months in but my mood has significantly increased from my last pill which gave me a very low/depressed mood. So far this has caused quite a lot of period cramps compared to what I used to have and I have had irregular periods. Let's see after a few months if it improves!

I began taking Noriday a few months ago because my previous combined pill gave me an inflamed cervix and a lot of discharge. My doctor then prescribed Noriday to me to see if it would work better for me. Although it didn’t give me any unusual discharge or any, I would say serve side effects, Noriday gave me the worst acne I have ever had in my entire life. I had a rash around my mouth and chin at first and then I got terrible cystic acne on my cheeks and then I broke out into another rash on my forehead. I had to go to the dermatologist twice in 2 months. I was forced to stop taking Noriday and since I have, my acne has completely stopped. I still have pretty visible dark spots but at least those will heal and fade. I know birth control is different for ever women but I would not recommend this one in the fear of another women getting this type of acne. I started taking Noriday this year in October and had to stop it by the end of November. Worst birth control experience of my life.

I normally have the depo provera injection but due to covid 19 lockdown i was put on noriday, within the first few days of taking noriday i experienced nausea and headaches i also had really low moods as a few weeks went on i started getting quite severe acne which i have never suffered mostly on my neck and jawline! This hasnt affected my weight but curved my appetite alot as i had put a little weight with the injection! Im currently 2 months into taking this pill and i can say i cant wait to get back to having my injection! I taken micronor when i was younger which has now been taken off the market and is called noriday now i stopped taking that because it made my moods really low and i am currently finding it hard with my moods with noriday as some days i can feel quite low which is something i dont like as the injection balanced out my moods quite well!

Generally over all it’s a good pill. However the irregular bleeding has been nonstop pretty much. I’ll be making a doctors appointment after lockdown to review my birth control to see if there is a different pill.

Only been on it for a few months, but i have had no problems or spotting or anything. My first period came a little early, but it lasted as long as usual, so i dont know if that's due to the pill. I felt some mood swings in the beginning, but now it's all eased down and i don't feel anything. So far so good :)

This pill worked well for me. My body seemed to go through the same cycle as I do when I'm not on the pill and my moods also reflected this. I only stopped as they had manufacturing issues.

I have used this pill for 8 years and I believe this has a link to my mood swings and periods of depression and anxiety.
