"i liked my ortho micronor. i first started it because i was afraid of the combination pill. i don&#039;t like the idea of taking estrogen. when i first started, i noticed my breast were slightly sore, but nothing too uncomfortable. it has a more strict timeline than the combination pill and you have to be sure to take it around the same time each day  /- 3 hour window. the more inconsistent you are, the greater chance of breakthrough bleeding/pregnancy. i still got a period while taking micronor, which i was happy about. that&#039;s my one true hey-im-not-pregnant flag. i stopped taking ortho micronor just because i wanted something more effective and hassle free. i recently choose an iud. if i have any problems with this iud, i would most likely return to using this."
