"its great. i&#039;ve been on microgestin fe 1/20 before and i was a train wreck. but now my periods are controlled. they last only 5 days compared to the 1.5 weeks when i wasn&#039;t taking anything. i haven&#039;t gained weight like i did with the other one and i am not so emotional. i feel normal except my sex drive really lowered and i get horrible cramps and bloats on my period. which i never got before but i don&#039;t mind because i dont bleed as much."
