Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I have been on microgestin for almost two weeks now. I am a pretty active individual almost everyday so the weight gain hasn&#039;t been too much of an issue for me. It has increased my appetite a little, and have made my breasts pretty tender. Other than that, I have no complaints about this pill. I have been on other birth controls before, but this one isn&#039;t as bad as everyone says it is... if you have preexisting conditions of diabetes, heart problems, high bp, of course those symptoms might increase on a birth control medication, but as long as you are staying active, maintaining a fairly balanced diet, and drinking plenty of water, please don&#039;t fear this birth control."
