Noriday worked well for me with regards to my mental health. I didn't notice any major change, unlike other progesterone only pills. However, I had UTIs constantly for the whole time I was on it. I've been off Noriday for a week and my bladder feels back to normal!

Tender breasts 2ish weeks before period. Loss of sex drive. Very bad bloating and constipation at times. My anxiety increased but this could have been due to the relationship I was in. I would feel very depressed a day before my period, but the rest of the time I was OK. I would get pink/brown discharge a day or 2 before my period and I am still getting this after 4 months of being off this pill. My period were lighter which was good and I had no pregnancy which was good. I felt bigger (I don't weigh myself though) and this may have been because of the bloating or due to weight gain.

I was put on this after having my Mirena Coil taken out (it’s did not agree with me at all) so I’m not too sure if my symptoms are to do with the coil coming out or going on the pill but I feel 1000x better. My periods have been a bit erratic however, sometimes they are heavy and short or light and long. Never heavy and long thank god. My boobs do get very sore and swollen just before my period and they have grown quite a bit (can’t complain there) I did stop taking the pill for 2 months and start again so this could be the reason and I’m hoping they will eventually settle down. All in all I’m pretty happy so far


Very positive mood
