14 Nov 2012 I have been on Microgestin Fe for about 3 months now. I haven't had too many side effects so far. I did initially experience some very mild spotting and breakthrough bleeding during the first few weeks, but it has lightened my periods significantly. I have also been experiencing moderate hair loss, but nothing noticeable (except that I'm constantly picking hair off of my clothing). The only real downside for me is that it has drastically lowered my sex drive and caused near constant vaginal dryness.

03 Nov 2012 I started using Microgestin in September 2012, I had few side effects at the time. I started bleeding 2 weeks after starting the pill and continued bleeding for 3 weeks. I then stopped bleeding for 2 weeks and started having more severe side effects such as blurred vision, dizziness, and nausea. I called my doctor and she told me to stop taking the pill. I stopped taking the pill 3 days ago and still feel the same way, I plan to go to my family doctor to ask if this is all normal. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PILL!!! Although everyone is different, it was a horrible experience for me.

14 Jun 2012 I switched from Yaz, because of the increased blood clot warning. I started using Microgestin FE and got depressed (nothing major in my life had changed) I had so much irritiblity that it was hard for me to hold a conversation with anyone without getting annoyed with them. I got MAJOR bloating the week before and during my period, and my breasts were so sore for 2 weeks. The only thing I did like, was the fact that it didn't feel like it increased my appetite and I felt like I lost weight/water retention the first couple weeks of taking the pill after I switched from Yaz. I don't recommend this birth control to anyone, especially if you have PMDD like I do.

25 Mar 2011 I have used Microgestin FE before and the only problem I had has the morning sickness. If I ate when I took the pill it was often much better, after the first month I had no more side effects. after about 6-8 months I had to go up a dose. I recently tried Ortho Tri-Cyclin Lo and was so miserable, the side effects were horrendous, so I switched back and I am doing good again.

23 Feb 2011 I'm pleased with this drug. Over time, the initial light dosage loses its effect, so you may have to progress to stronger doses. Excessive spotting is the sign for the time to upgrade to a stronger dose.
