Birth Control
"I&#039;m 38 years old and have been taking Nora-BE for 10 months. I have never been pregnant, and do not plan to have children.  I chose this pill because I was looking for a progestin only option with low hormones.  My Dr also suggested it as a safer option because I am a smoker.  Overall, my experience has been pretty positive on this pill. Way less mood swings than other pills I have been on.  I get a period about every 28 days for about 5-6 days that is heavy for about 3 days and lighter the last 3 days. No spotting between periods. My sex drive increased after the first month and has remained strong. Some breast tenderness and back pain about a week before my period. Worst part: weight gain of 15 lbs and some facial hair and acne."
