Birth Control
"I&#039;m 23 and was on Microgestin for 4  years. The only major side effect I experienced was not getting my period at all for the last 3 of those years. My doctor explained that it&#039;s not uncommon for Microgestin to thin the lining of the uterus so much that there&#039;s nothing left to shed, and although I certainly wasn&#039;t going to complain, it was still kind of weird. Zero cramps, headaches, nausea, spotting, mood swings, weight change, or change in sex drive. The only down side was that my face broke out about halfway through my pill pack every month; not really terrible acne, just annoying pimples. I&#039;ve since switched to Ocella and seen a huge improvement in my skin, although I got my period again the first month I switched. "
