Birth Control
"I am in my 6th month of Microgestin Fe 1/20 and I have mixed feelings about it. My doctor switched me from Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo because of my horrible mood swings with that. This pill, while it does help with the mood swings, seems to make me more apathetic towards everything. I hate the feeling of indifference, but it sure does beat the outbursts. However, being a dancer and in awesome physical shape, I now find myself with &#039;muffin top&#039;... the excess fat around the waist that overlaps the pants. I have a constant feeling of dry mouth, and find myself drinking almost 80 oz. of water a day; most of which is likely retained. Also, extremely sensitive breasts. Showers hurt!  So, I have mixed feelings about Microgestin, but I will most likely continue to use."
