It's funny to me reading everyone's review and how this birth control effects everyone differently. Everybody's body is different so don't steer away from it just because of some peoples horror stories. This birth control has been amazing for me.

It's funny to me reading everyone's review and how this birth control effects everyone differently. Everybody's body is different so don't steer away from it just because of some peoples horror stories. This birth control has been amazing for me. I usually am extremely depressed and have terrible mood swings when taking birth control but this one doesn't give me any of that. I feel completely normal! Birth controls in the past have made my sex drive go down and dry below but this one completely does the opposite for me. So I would say try it and if it doesn't work for you move on to another birth control.

Very intense itching of feet and hands. After seeing dr and a dermatologist decided it may be this drug. Off for a week and itching stopped. Very touchy. If not taken perfect timing instant spotting. Five pound plus weight gain first three months. Low libido. Giving up after four months of this generic drug.

I was on reclipsen for about a year before I switched to microgestin. While on reclipsen, I was fairly happy with it. It didn't cause any weight gain and kept my skin very clear. The number one issue I had with it was my sex drive drastically decreased. I hadn't really noticed it while on reclipsen, but now that I'm off it, i realize how much of an issue it was.

I switched off of reclipsen because of the horrible migraines it caused me. My periods were pretty heavy the first 2 days each month and then lightened up from there.

I am 21, 5'7, 36B,145lbs, and very Athletic. I have never in my life taken a birth control pill. The only prevention has been condoms. I decided to use bcp (birth control pills) because I had a long term relationship and it ended and well I decided that I need to get out there, but nonetheless I was still going to Use condoms, but I also didn't want to have an accident. Just being honest here, everyone has their reasons for using bcp. Anyways so I go to my doctors and she gives me theses to try out, there are so many out there so she told me that if I didn't like it she'll prescribe me another one. So I tried it. I take mine at 7:50pm everyday just because that was the time that I picked it up and I needed it to start working asap. I noticed that my appetite has lowered, I don't eat as much so that resulted in me losing a little bit of weight. I have not gotten acne or anything (thank God) and my boobs feel heavy like when you get your period and nipples became super sensitive. The best about this part is my boobs, I love them feeling big and heavy. I also noticed like small white powdered milk on my nipple like discharge too. Like its soooo small. Anyways,,, love love love this pill. I also looked at some reviews but no one uses it for the same reason I am using it for, that is the reason I did this review.
