Ethinyl estradiol / norethindrone
birth control
"I've been taking BC pills the past 12 months and microgestin is the 3rd type I've tried, and also the worst ever. First month ok, hardly any side effects. By the second month I started having severe mood swings to the point me and my BF considered counseling. I cried for no reason, got irritated over every little thing. I also gained weight around my waistline, despite I'm a very very active gal going to the gym 3-4x a week plus super healthy diet. Hair loss and low sex drive were also something I noticed.



The worst thing I would say was the ANXIETY ATTACK, it was getting really bad that I was literally gasping for air and having chest pain on a daily basis. I finally decided I had enough of all this. Definitely NOT recommended!!!!"
