Periods are short (2-3 days) and I only need to use light tampons. Mild cramping with each period but that is tolerable compared to severe cramping I'd get without BCP. Acne improved greatly. However, I have developed a troublesome amount of cellulite on my thighs and buttocks despite the fact that I work out daily and eat fairly well. Did not have this cellulite before I started this medication. ... Show Full Comment

I started taking this birth control about 3 months ago. While on it I got a flu bug that stayed for a month. So after I got better and still felt feverish and bad, I finally realized it was my BC (Ortho-Novum or the generic brand Necor 777)Please don't take!

I switched from the name brand to this pill and within 2 months developed a massive blood clot that required emergency treatment. I am not a smoker, not overweight and I exercise regularly. After multiple tests came back negative, the pill was the only culprit.

At first it made my mood uncontrollable but after a few months it calmed down. I gained a little weight but it's not noticeable and my boobs grew almost a cup size so i can't complain. Spotting, cramps, and acne breakouts were pretty bad at first also.
