"do not take norethindrone!!!! i actually want to have my period so i know nothing is wrong with me. i was on ortho tri for 3 years and i had to get switched to this. it made me have two periods in one month, made me skip a period, made me have a period and then skipped two more months. in those months i had bad cramping and spotting all the time. and to add to that my entire back is now covered in acne. i&#039;ve never had acne on my back and now my entire back is ruined because of this birth control. the only positive thing is that i gained weight on it and that&#039;s all."
