"i have been taking microgestin for three months now. it&#039;s birth control. sure, everyone needs to find the right one for them but it really isn&#039;t as horrid as everyone is making it... side effects happen.. you&#039;re pumping your body full of hormones. for the first month i didn&#039;t break out a tad bit more than usual, my boobs were extremely tender and i was feeling lethargic but around the end of month 2 my face became extra clear, my boob tenderness had subsided and i have my energy back! give your body time to become adjusted. . that&#039;s it. do that and you will be a okay side effect and baby free."
