User Reviews for Nor-Q-D oral

I have been taking Nor-QD now for four months and well unlike a lot of women I haven't bled one day since I started taking it. It makes me worried and my doctor says that it's fine, it's what the drug will do. But I've gained weight, acne and well the worry of maybe never being able to get pregnant makes it all a but to much.

I was prescirbed NOR QD. The first few months I was on it, my period came right one time. 5th month i was late a day. 6th month late a few more day.s 7th month, had my period 3 times in one month. 8th month was late. Not pregnant, took a lot of tests. It is effective, however I still don't trust it entirely so I use the pull out method. I just don't like that I never know when I will be getting my period. Ortho Tryclen lo is still the best one I ever had. I knew exactly what time and day I would have it. NORQD SUCKS!!!!!! I am switching as soon as I get put on my husbands insurance. THANK GOD!!!! Cuz if your anything like me, it sucks having to worry every freakin day if your pregnant are not because your dang birth control can't decide what day it wants ur period to start.Read More Read Less

When I started taking this i bled for 3 weeks straight, stopped for a week then started bleeding again when it was time for my normal period. I hadnt been told it would do that. My doctor also didnt tell me that when i staopped taking the pill it would cause extreme cramps, when i have never had cramps before, as well as unusually heavy periods that last longer than normal for up to 3 months after I stopped the pill. Luckily I only had the cramps the first month after i stopped taking it but they were worse than the contractions I had when i gave birth to my son with no epidural! It was enough to send me to the ER thinking something was seriously wrong. Betweeen those 2 things I am very unhappy with the pill and wont be useing it again.Read More Read Less

I hate this pill! I have been spotting ever since I started it. I was told that the spotting would stop after the first 3 months- as if that isnt long enough, it still hasnt stopped! Just 3 days after I started the pill, I started breaking out in acne like I did when I went through puberty! Its awful being a grown woman and looking like a preteen!! Im also often nauseated, and super cranky.

I take BCP's due to ovarian cysts, but also suffer from severe daily headaches and migraines. Was on Norinyl and was happy with it, only having a period every 3 months. They changed the pill due to the headaches. Was put on this 5 months ago and was told I wouldn't have a period at all, but have had one every month. I don't feel this will help the cyst problem and my doctor doesn't seem to agree to change it again. I'm not happy with this product at all!

I take this medicine,because of highblood pressure,but I havent had a period since.Everything seems fine,and its been 1yr using nora-be!(generic form)

I have been bleeding for 15 weeks STRAIGHT. In 15 weeks since starting NOR QD. I have only not bled a total of 5 days. It is HORRIBLE. I went to the doctor after 6 weeks, but was told to give it a full 3 months for my body to adjust. I have not gotten pregnant, but to my husband's dismay, I'm going to have to result to barrier methods (or buy stock in TAMPAX, as I have gone through a 40 pack of super absorbency tampons for the last 15 weeks).

Great option, no problems.

Had shown very sensitive to progesterone products so should never have been prescribed this. Flared up diabetes where walking around in drunken stupor. Also increased symptoms with bipolar including irratibility.

I gained weight on it very fast.

Bleeding constantly.
