Birth Control
"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!!"
