"pros:
breasts got bigger (they&#039;re aa normally, so this was a big plus!), it worked (i didn&#039;t get pregnant), light periods, can skip periods by taking continuously.
cons:
much more acne, dramatic mood swings (crying uncontrollably for no reason), nausea, weight gain

i only stayed on mircette for three months due to the dramatic increase in side effects compared to ortho-tri-cyclen (which i&#039;d been on for three years at that point)--especially crying easily and acne. i get mood changes with any birth control pill, but it was by far the worst on mircette. every other pill i&#039;ve tried improves my acne, but mircette made it worse. i did like the breast enlargement, but that wasn&#039;t worth being totally crazy with an acne-covered face!"
