I've just finished my first pack. This whole month has been very strange. Mood swings, I noticed I'm starving a few hours after taking it, which isn't normal, my sleep is messed up but I'm not extremely tired all the time, the cramps are HORRIBLE! The last time I had cramps this bad was during my miscarriage and before then I never got them. I feel bloated all the time and my diet hasn't changed a ... Show Full Comment

I've just finished my first pack. This whole month has been very strange. Mood swings, I noticed I'm starving a few hours after taking it, which isn't normal, my sleep is messed up but I'm not extremely tired all the time, the cramps are HORRIBLE! The last time I had cramps this bad was during my miscarriage and before then I never got them. I feel bloated all the time and my diet hasn't changed a bit. When I first started it I was so irate with my bf and easily mad. I have no sex drive at all! As soon as I started this pill it went right out the door. I definitely would not recommend this pill to anyone.

I have been on several different birth controls... My most recent has been microgestin Fe 1/20. Considering I have been on birth control for awhile, I never have really noticed any negative effects... Until now. I have lost a significant amount of hair, which I kept blaming on hair dye until I noticed scalp hair is a possible side effect of birth control. I Have thin hair to begin with, so this has been really frustrating. Along with the hair loss, my period is NEVER normal. I will get one randomly in the middle of the pack and then wont have one while I'm taking the placebo pills. The period does only last like 2 days, but I think it is more spotting than an actual period.

ive been on this pill for a little over half a year now. it worked fine most of the time, but i had some occasions where my period would start randomly in the middle of the month. i also missed 2 periods in a row despite my perfect use so now i am on a different birth control pill.

I was on Loestrin 24 1/20 and was very happy with it. I switched to Microgestin 1/20 because it was easier on the budget. I took it for about 3 months and i'm ready to switch back. My periods are more painful and I missed one pill and started my cycle! I know the price differance is quite differant but heck it beats the chance of getting prego.

My periods are more painful and I missed one pill and started my cycle! I know the price differance is quite differant but heck it beats the chance of getting prego. Since this is a little bit weaker dosage that Loestrin 24... My advice don't waste your time on this brand.
