"i&#039;ve only been on microgestin fe 1/20 for like 2 weeks now i love it. i started the first day of my cycle, very skeptical at first about birth control in general. but i started my cycle, was two days longer than usual with extremes light bleeding the last two days, i guess you consider that breakthrough bleeding. other than i have not experienced much side effects which i am so glad about. other than being very emotional i&#039;m already a ball of tears so it kind of made me extra sad but not to much. one day my feet were swollen...don&#039;t know if that&#039;s a side effect. but once again nothing serious. i&#039;m hoping my breasts do up a size, or two. definitely recommend for 1st time birth control."
