"i started microgestin in june. i had read tons of horrible reviews and my experience was far from scary. i had never been on any birth control before. the first month i spotted off and on by the second month my bleeding was mostly done. i used microgestin continuously because my periods give me unbearable cramps. the second month i got an yeast infection which i had never had before and started getting terrible night sweats to the point i would wake up freezing and would have to change my clothes in the middle of the night. i also started getting terrible headaches. i decided to stay on this pill until march. i continued to have terrible headaches and night sweats. however it did work for keeping flow away."
