Common Questions and Answers about Norgestimate mini pill

I was on a triphasic pill for years (Tri Sprintec). It was good for keeping acne under control (which is why I originally went on it at age 20). But in the last few years I began suffering from extreme fatigue, lots of water retention, vaginal dryness, etc, and as all my tests were normal my PCP suggested the pill was causing it.
I went off the pill completely 4 months ago and about 2 months after started experiencing extremely oily skin and massive hair shedding, among other things.

It's my understanding there is next to no wiggle room with the mini pill, which is why it's extremely vital for you to take it at the exact same time each day. Use back up birth control (such as condoms NOT the pull out method) for at least a week or so while the pill becomes effective again. It's hard to say if you're safe or not, but all things considered (BFing as well as birth control) you likely will be.
m eighteen and recently got my wisdom teeth taken out so I had to take anti-biotics for a week and the doctor told me if would interfere with my oral contraceptives, Sprintec (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol tablets, 0.250 mg/0.035 mg). I got the antibiotics at the same time as I started my new pack of birth control and took them both for the first week of my cycle, and I used protection until the next week when my antibiotics ran out (because, of course, things happen).
I started a new birth control in December and I noticed that I am getting these red blotches and bumps on my neck and arms. Could this be a side effect of it?
told me to stop taking it as it can increase the chance of a stroke - so I stopped, came on my period and stopped on the 29th of Novemember - Had an appointment on the 12th of December (earliest I could get) to discuss what my contreceptions options were, got put on the Micronor mini pill as apparently they are okay with migraines. And I started taking it straight away.
I'm on CD 88. Took Provera and did not have bleeding or spotting within 10 days after. Did blood work and it showed FSH: 6, LH: 1, TSH: 2.54. I did temping and OPKs and I'm pretty sure I did not ovulate. Before that I was on BCP (0.035 ethinyl estradiol & 0.25 norgestimate) and had very regular periods. What next? Clomid to stimulate ovulation? Clomid followed by estrogen? BCP to reset the cycle?
I have been in the mini pill for the last 8 months and we have decided to try for another baby, i have been off the pill for nearly 1 week and bled for the 1st 4 days which has now stopped. How soon after finishing the mini pill can you get pregnant and has anyone fell pregnant quickly or taken a long time and been told its because of the mini pill?
Hi girls. I'm on the mini pill (still bf my 9 month old) and have been on antibiotics for a throat infection for the last week. Just as I finished taking them I realized they might have effected the pill.. Silly I know but gp didn't say anything... anyone know how risky this is? Thanks! Definitely want another bub just not yet!
Hello! I recently switched from combination pills to the mini-pill because it was what the free clinic had on hand. I've been taking Ortho Micronor (POP pill) during the whole month and I've noticed some changes in my cycle.
For example, while taking the combination pill, my period always arrived spot on and only lasted for 4 days. I started the mini-pill on the last day of my past period as my doctor told me to do so.
I used to take tri-lo-sprintec tablet generic for (ortho tri-cyclen LO) for the past 6 six years, but in Michigan we do not have it in generic form anymore. Therefore this month i started taking Eth estradi/norgestimate and I feel very lazy and sleepy all the time and I see that I have been gaining weight. My question is is what I am taking now the same as what I was taking before because that is what the pharmacy told me?
But by the time I was on the mini pill, I got really tired of having to take any kind of pill daily so by the time I quit, I was just happy to not have to remember to take something every day.
I've had the mirena IUD since 2011 and with the exception of one time when it partially expelled and I had to get it replaced, I haven't had any other issues with it. I wish I would've gotten it sooner because for me, I got so annoyed with having to take a pill every day.
What is the mini pill? If it is a lower hormone level of the Birth Control Pill then I doubt it could do harm if you are currently pregnant. You can take a pregnancy test about 19 days since the last time you had sex for an accurate preg. test result. You could also call and ask your doctor what he thinks. Or you could just wait to take the pills until you know you're not pregnant.
I've been on the pill since I was 18 (in now 26) I was on a combined pill briefly and then was out on a mini pill until recently it was discontinued. I'm on another brand of mini pill and have been taking it for a month and a half and have had constantly bleeding, some heavy like a normal period and some light pinkish colour. I have unprotected sex (he always pulls out) but I am religiously taking my pill never missed one. Is this something to be worried about or is it normal?
