Birth Control
"I&#039;ve been on Microgestin for almost three months now; I switched over from Previfem. During the first month or so, my sex drive decreased a bit and I was nauseated in the morning sometimes. I did notice some mood swings, too. Since I&#039;ve been on it for a while, though, the symptoms have let up. My withdrawal bleeds only last for about 3-5 days, and they&#039;re light. I do have backaches and cramps periodically throughout my cycle, but they&#039;re manageable with a little ibuprofen. My breasts swell a bit and get sore around my placebo week, but that&#039;s not really a big deal. 



Overall, I&#039;m happy with Microgestin. I haven&#039;t gotten pregnant, so that&#039;s awesome, and the side effects are minimal. Also, my skin is looking good!"
