Hi Celeste,
I also take micronor BCP! I thought I was the only one. I switched
after getting really bad migraines with the combined pills (Dianette). I
have found them OK. better than the dianette, as when i re-started the
pills after the weeks break, I used to feel very rough, nausea etc.
I have been low carbing whilst taking the micronor and i have had 2
natural periods..which goes against what a non-pcos sufferer might
expect on this pill.
Please feel free to mail me and we can chat more
