I haven't been taking it long but I'm taking it for birth control and lighter periods. Since taking it I have noticed I've been more irritable, no sex drive and my bf jokes saying it's a birth control not sex control. I feel hotter also.

I have been taking this pill for a couple of years and i loved it.....at first. Now i desperately need to switch to something else. I have recently lost 20 lbs...and maybe that is why it no longer works for me, but my periods now last about 2 days longer than normal, the bleeding is heavy, and the cramps are horrible.

I have been on this medicine for about a month and a half, and the side effects are horrible. The effects I experience range from nausea, vomiting, dizziness, upset stomach, and I can cry over anything now! I will not be staying on this medication.

On 4 months on microgestin I did not get pregnant. However, I missed my first period, got the second one in the 3rd week, the third was the only regular one and the fourth lasted nearly 2 weeks and came with weak bladder control. I have never experience such irregular menstruation with any previous birth control and will definitely not be continuing with microgestin.
