Micronor is a mini-pill...which means it does not contain estrogen. You really need to be diligent in taking it at the same time each day...within 30 minutes. It is great for BF'ing moms, since it will not affect milk supply. Other than side effects, I think it really depends on the individual woman.

Micronor, as rosieposie mentioned, is a progestin-only pill.

This was just my past experience with it, but i had a period like every 5 days with it which sucked, and i noticed i got extremely irritable and moody with it (i had been on ortho tri cyclen before the pregnancy and never had any of those effects). I missed it being on time and immediately got pregnant again. My boys are 14 months apart. I just hated and noticed that it was also affecting my milk supply. /the only good thing was that i didn't noticea weight gain. HTH
