The only problem I have with this pill is that it makes my skin extremely oily, and therefore makes me break out.

If you don't mind some weight gain or acne, then this pill is right for you.

I had never had high blood pressure before switching to Norinyl. Other then that, thats the only problem I had with it.

I have been on this birth control over 10 years. No spotting or bleeding between periods, I rarely have cramping. Although I do experience breast tenderness, but nothing that can't be handled.

Light, short duration period! I dont experience cramping. Went on another pill for a couple months and noticed a heavier longer period. Glad to be back on this one
