After a couple days taking the NORG-ETHIN ESTR, I notice pimples/breakouts on my face, and clearing out after a month of taking them. But red spots as marks are still on my face now. For a week, I been having headaches that doesn't go away though taking ibuprofen. And my mood swings faster/easily. Always feel nauseated.

Well first off I have to say I barely started this pill a moth ago, first time taking any type of birth control. I am 20 and pretty active, but when I first started oh my I got mood swings, tired all the time, I've still been spotting/bleeding since day 1 from taking it. Although,I feel a lot better now (think I just had to get used to it) I can actually go to the gym every night again. I am still spotting though. So I'm hoping that goes away soon. Other than that I think with time my body will adjust. Read More Read Less

Used the drug, it didn't help with pain, caused heartburn, leg cramps, exhaustion, but not being able to sleep at night. Cramping during the day.

This is an update to my last review on the HRT, now have been taking for 3 mo. I feel like I have "leveled out",the first month I felt like I was on top of the world ! but now feel normal. Have been adding soy into my diet while off for 7 days. Dryness is no more, sexdrive good, sleeping is so-so, I will go see my Dr. next month , overall have had good results.

Wow, after all the harsh reviews on the HRT I feel bad about saying how well I feel when I'm taking it. Had a hysterectomy, (ovaries intact, cervix gone) 10 yrs. ago , lately was feeling very tired, low sex drive, with vaginal dryness. My boyfriend insisted that I go get a check-up, I'm 52. So I did, all is well but I'm postmenopausal ! Shocker ! I instantly felt "old". My Dr. ( a female my age ) said "not to worry, we will fix you up". I take 2mg. everyday for 21 days and then off for 7 days, and repeat. Today is my off week and I notice a huge difference. I'm tired. When I'm taking them I feel like I could conquer the world, I feel more womanly. No side effects yet, only been on 1 mo. but I can't wait until Friday when I start taking them again !

I used this birth control for quite a while, it was successful until there was a recall on it recently. I started this bc when I was 18, never had any problems. The only thing that upsets me was I got pregnant due to a recall on this pill, but if it's also a blessing as I dont believe in abortion.

I have tried about 7 other brands and none of them compare to this one. I am not moody, controlled flow, and I don't feel nauseated.
