| 2 | Prevent pregnancy | Really bad ovulation pain?! | This is the first month I take microgestin. I am around my ovulation and I'm experiencing cramping down there. It's weird because isn't it suppose to prevent ovulation? | F | 24 | 1 weeks 30 1X day | 1/26/2022 | 1 | Regulate periods | Acne, extreme depression, suicidal thoughts, weight gain, and breast swelling. | This is a terrible birth control. These have been the worst 3 months of my life and my mental health has decreased extremely quickly while taking this pill. My mental state got so bad to the point where I ended up ruining my own relationship and some friendships. My breasts increased and they hurt all the time to the point where I couldn't even lay on them. | F | 18 | 92 days 1X day | 1/23/2021 | 3 | Pregnancy Prevention | Increased hormonal acne, weight gain, irregular periods and cramping | I was prescribed Microgestin through Nurx.com. I've gained 15ish pounds since i've started it but i don't mind. My main concern is i haven't been having much of a period the last couple of months and this month i didn't have one at all. I'm hoping this is normal. | F | 23 | 6 months 1X day | 10/4/2020 | 3 | Prevent pregnancy, clear acne | The first month & a half i was passing extremely big blood clots, having reoccurring headaches & cravings. As time went on my period went away completely, i still have regular hormonal acne but my mood swings & tiredness have triggered a depressive state. Mentally, this pill sucks. As far as preventing pregnancy it’s excellent. | If your mental health is not the best i do not recommend this pill by any means. | F | 25 | 7 months | 7/23/2020 | 5 | Regulate period, prevent pregnancy | Decreased sex drive, shorter/lighter period, less acne, reduced cramping completely, increased sugar cravings, Increased discharge before period. | This pill completely regulated my period, cramping and my acne. Microgestin has helped me immensely, but seeing results took time. My sex drive has significantly gone down which is unfortunate. Also I did not gain extra weight but had more sugar cravings. | F | 23 | 5 years 1X day | 7/21/2020 | 2 | PCOS and Irregular Periods | I felt great for the first week and a half on this pill, but then I started getting really bad cramps, my breast became swollen and heavy (even my boyfriend noticed this), I started getting nauseous, and my body is retaining water. I also noticed that I had discharge similar to when you ovulate, and that's not supposed to happen. | I should also note that I switched to Microgestin after being on Tri-Sprintec for 1 year. Tri-Sprintec was making me very sick and was causing me to have unbearable migraines. | F | 26 | 20 days 1D x | 6/15/2020 | 1 | Periods were out of control, blood | Weight gain, blood count on my sugar has increased, irrtatable, mode swings | I don't feel this birth control is good,because before 3months ago my blood sugar was okay now it's high. | F | 47 | 3 months 1.5/30 | 8/7/2017 | 4 | Prevent pregnancy, decrease crampin | I previously had taken microgestin before the birth of my son 4 years ago.I recently started back about 3 months ago. However, my prescription only has the 3 week pills. I experience headaches off and on before by period. During the first 2 days I am nauseated and I have some mild cramps. I currently feel thatI have been getting numbness at times in my right hand. ( unsure if its how I sleep) Lastly my periods are ligher and shorter than usual. It will last 3 to 4 days. I have no problems with ache. I have been quitd moody, and I am starting to feel a decreased sexual appetite. Before my period, I become very arroused. | I was unaware that the 4 week pack is currently unavailable. I think that it depends on the pharmacy. I had no symptoms with the 4 week pack previously. | F | 39 | 3 days 1.5/3.0 | 5/13/2017 | 4 | Heavy long flow | Bloating | So far I love this BC pill because my only side effect is bloating. | F | 10 days 1.5 / 30 | 5/9/2017 | 1 | Regular periods | my periods stopped altogether! | I started taking this birth control pill in order to have a regular period, but after taking this pill for three months, my period stopped. Definitely will not use this pill again. | F | 34 | 5 months 1X day | 5/1/2017 | 3 | Pregnancy prev/ shorter period | I enjoyed the increased sex drive but am discouraged by the heavy bleeding cramps. I switched from a 24 active so I knew the potential to have longer periods was there but a 6 day period makes me feel like I'm back in high school. I am going to stick it out and hope my body adjusts. | F | 34 | 1 months | 4/4/2017 | 4 | Severe pains when ovulating | Migraines, weight gain, nausea, clearer skin | I tried out other BC before this and it made me bleed for a month and did nothing for my pain. This BC stops me from ovulating and I've noticed that I only mildly breakout during the time of my period since starting the pill which is a bonus for someone who has had problems with acne since they were 10. Yes, I suffer terribly from the other side effect and have to see a neurologist for my migraines but I'd rather deal with them than have the ovulation pain come back. | F | 19 | 10 months | 1/28/2017 | 1 | Menstrual Regulation | Weight gain, severe acne, headaches, nauseous, break through bleeding. | I am trying to make it through another month to see if my body adjusts. | F | 45 | 1 months | 10/2/2016 | 1 | Birth control | Vomiting everyday six hours after taking the pills, increased anxiety, fatigue, and sleepy. | F | 26 | 1 days | 8/9/2016 | 4 | Regulate cyst on ovaries and PMS | Increase sex drive,less depressed, weight is the same,at first nauseous, very happy having more happy days for sure. I kinda feel like a different more positive person. Clearer skin. | F | 27 | 2 weeks 30 | 8/6/2016 | 3 | Prevent pregnancy | Dizziness, slight nausea, migraine headaches w/ aura, breast tenderness and swelling, fatigue, acne | I'm not a huge fan of this birth control, although it does what I need it to. Usually, doctors say your body will get used to the birth control pill hormones within 3 months; however, I have almost every side effect continuously every month. It has done nothing to help with acne (if anything it's only made it worse) and the only reason I'm taking it and not switching brands is to prevent pregnancy. | F | 20 | 8 months 30 Mg 1X day | 6/7/2016 | 1 | regulate period | I ended up getting a blood clot in my head.. now I am on blood thinners for who knows how long. I do not smoke, exercise everyday and am very healthy. DO NOT take this pill. | F | 37 | 4 months 30 mg 1X day | 5/23/2016 | 2 | Birth control | Weight gain, blood clots in the popliteal vein | I had the Mirena, but switched to the pill. At the end of my third week of the first pack, I developed two clots in my leg. I have no prior history of clots but I realize they are a risk with any hormone-replacement/supplement. I also gained about 7 lbs. | F | 42 | 1 months 30 | 1/22/2016 | 4 | Birth control | Breast tenderness, bigger breasts, dryness during sex | I would definitely recommend this birth control. It cleared up my skin, and regulated my periods. I have 2 day periods and hardly any cramps at all! | F | 22 | 5 months 1X day | 1/2/2016 | 1 | Did not want to get pregnant & acne | Extreme weight gain, numbness, poor circulation in my arms and legs, fatigue | I gained 14 lbs in 19 days on this pill. I was eating healthy and working out. All of a sudden I had a large amount of visceral belly fat and huge hormonal mood swings. Immediately switched over to another dosage after consulting my OBGYN | F | 23 | 4 weeks 30 mg | 7/30/2015 |
