"i absolutely adore microgestin, now that i&#039;ve been on it for three and a half months. the first two months were brutal. in the second week i had horrible uterine cramping and terrible cramping during my period also. the first month also, until i got used to it, it did give me mood swings, but did not make me depressed. once i was on it for a few months, however, all of this went away. right now i have mild breast tenderness but honestly it isn&#039;t bad at all and i&#039;d recommend it to anyone."
