The only problems I have are at night, however I think it's just my anxiety messing with me. My anxiety became higher after I started on the pill.

I have been taking this medication for 8 years now. I have little to no cramping and my periods last 3-4 days and are pretty light. My period is predictable to the DAY (I was very irregular before the pill). It has also helped with my skin. I have less acne (which runs in my family) and well, lets be honest...I'm not pregnant yet and I've fairly active for years now. I did not gain weight until I ... Show Full Comment

I did not gain weight until I started taking pro-zac with it about 6 years ago. Other then that, I'm very satisfied.

I have been on various oral contraceptives for the past 11 years, with varying experiences. Some higher dose medications made me experience 'morning sickness' on a daily basis (woke up every morning at 4am to vomit), while other low dose medications left me with my period for 3 weeks out of every month.

I have been on various oral contraceptives for the past 11 years, with varying experiences. Some higher dose medications made me experience 'morning sickness' on a daily basis (woke up every morning at 4am to vomit), while other low dose medications left me with my period for 3 weeks out of every month. Other medications made me extremely moody. This has been the only birth control I've been able to take for 3 years with very few side effects. My periods are VERY regular (starts and ends on the same day every month) and very light (only need to use a tampon one or two days, and then a panty liner thereafter), virtually no PMS, and no pre-menstrual cramps. My only complaints are that it doesn't help clear my skin as other medications might, and that it does negatively impact my sex drive a bit. But I'll trade an occasional pimple and a lowered libido for all the benefits I've experinced with this pill.

I switched to Low-Ogestrel after basically having two periods a month on Microgestin. Low-Ogestrel did an excellent job of controlling my periods, they were very light, little cramping, and only lasted 3-4 days.

I would not recommend this to anyone who is concerned about their skin flaring up.
