"i started using micronor because i heard it lacked estrogen and i heard it was a healthier method of birth control. i&#039;m surprised by all the poor reviews because i had absolutely no problem with this pill. i&#039;m 5&quot;4 and 120 pounds, and i never work out. i had no weight gain, no depression/moodiness, no lowered lobito, etc. so don&#039;t get scared off by the reviews, everybody&#039;s different. i combined this medication with a condom, because i&#039;ve heard its common to get pregnant on this pill. for that reason i&#039;m ending my use this month (after 8-9 months) and switching to the combined pill alesse, because i wanna try condomless sex with my partner. give it a try :) you can always stop using it if you have issues."
