Default Anyone on Micronor??

I just got put on a new birth control pill, Micronor. It has no estrogen, because with my migraines I can't take the estrogen. Anyway it says weight gain is rare, which I'm happy about.

I just took my first pill today so I definetly haven't had time to form my own opinion about it. I was wondering if anyone else is on it? Any comments, good or bad.

I was on Micronor while breastfeeding both my boys. I had no problems on it and actually lost weight on it the first time. I was hungry a lot but I contributed that to breastfeeding since I was hungry while breastfeeding while not on micronor. I was not LCing at the time. The only caution I have for you is they are a little tricker than normal BC pills. You must take them within the same 2 hours everyday or their efficiency goes way down.

Thanks for letting me know how it worked for you. I was on Depo Provera a couple of years ago for a year and gained 40+ pounds in a year, so I was kind of scared about going back on Birth control. I'm glad to know that it didn't cause you to gain weight.
