Ladies at AM, did you ever get a bit sporadic with your birth control?

On weekly basis? I've been on norethindrone for many months for treatment of endometriosis (not for birth 'control' per se)... I began to gain weight a couple months ago as it is a side effect, and skipped a few pills here or there, then took just half at night only (dr. said I could try it)... and now I took full pill again last night. I feel cramps (you are not supposed to get period on this pill) coming yet it is just that pain; not the actual period. I think it is b/c I was sporadic with pill last 2 weeks...have you ever done this and what were your physical feelings or effects?

    Nope, I either took it or I didn't. Talk to your doctor, nurse or pharmacist regarding BC side effects. If weight gain is a problem there are other types of pills. Talk to your doctor about your options.

    Really should take it as directed. Talk to the Dr about other meds you could take without the side effects. 
    But no, I either took it or did not. I don't need to anymore.
