I was on Necon for a few years until my pharmacy changed my prescription to Nortel 1/35 (they told me it was the EXACT same as Necon). Since being on Nortrel, I have had HORRIBLE breakouts on my chin & jawline - I'm talking large, cystic acne that will not go away! I never had "perfect" skin, but I have never had breakouts like this, and I am 27 years old! This pill also gives me ... Show Full Comment

Only positive is my period is light and lasts for 3 days!

I have been on this BC for about 5 months and it is very effective. So far the only side effects I have had is headaches around the time my period is coming on and when I first started taking it my stomach was in knots for about a week.

I took this pill for almost a year. It worked well. I never got pregnant. As for side effects: almost never felt nauseous, went up one bra cup size, no big change in weight, no big mood changes, no change in skin appearance. The only reason I stopped taking it was because I've started to have breakthrough bleeding the past two months. Doctor was unsure why, but now she's prescribed me a n ... Show Full Comment

BAD PILL. I am nauseous everyday on this pill. It's like I have morning sickness every morning. I don't have my period like I should...It's like 3 days and then when I start my new pack I bleed through the first week of it when I shouldn't be. No weight gain, but weight loss because of the nausea. ACNE!!! I never have acne, but on this pill I have it all on my chest and face even w ... Show Full Comment

Yeast infections before each period also...can't stand this pill. It's awful. I've been on many different birth controls such as YAZ, Ortho tri-cyclen, Mirena, and the patch and this one is the WORST!! I would get my IUD put back in before continuing on this pill.
