"i started norethindrone back in january, here it is the middle of may. i started the pill because of the obvious, &quot;don&#039;t want to get pregnant,&quot; and &quot;we&#039;d prefer to be safer than sorry&quot;, storyline.
i suffer from chronic migraine, so my doctor prescribed the mini-pill as an option, not wanting them to intensify.
well, in that aspect, the pill worked. and has worked. it&#039;s also worked with preventing pregnancy. thank goodness.
what it hasn&#039;t worked with is everything else. almost 6 months on it and i&#039;ve gained almost 15 pounds, and my periods have become almost completely unbearable!!!! and not to mention they come about every 2 weeks, if they even come that far apart!!"
