Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been using Microgestin 1.5/30 for a few months and it&#039;s worked really well for me.  I&#039;ve had terribly heavy, painful periods for 20 years - heavy enough that despite using Ultra tampons with maxi pads, I&#039;d have to run to a bathroom every 2-3 hours.  On one occasion, I ended up in the ER because I was going through super plus tampons every 20 minutes for over 3 hours. I was a little nervous to try the Microgestin but my side effects have been minimal.  A little bit of spotting, a little moodiness, a little acne, but I&#039;ve lost a few pounds and the bleeding is finally under control for the first time in over 20 years. I&#039;m thrilled."
