"i am 25 years old, female, no kids. tried combination pill for 2 months about 5 years ago, absolutely hated it so no bc other than condoms since then. i started nora-be a month ago about a week after end of period. waited 3 days before having unprotected sex, no problem. just had my period as scheduled this past week, was slightly lighter but still lasted 6 days total as usual. some cramps the first couple of days. the only obvious side effects the first 2 weeks was dryness/itchiness down there and slight increase in moodiness but all is good now."
